OCT-IVUS CATHETER FOR CONCURRENT LUMINAL IMAGING

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for in vivo imaging. More specifically, the present invention relates to a "catheter that incorporates an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system and an Intravascular Ultrasound ("IVUS) system for concurrent imaging of luminal systems, such as imaging the vasculature system, including, without limitation, cardiac vasculature, peripheral vasculature and neural vasculature.
