<p>Methods, devices, and kits, for assessing luminal lesions are provided. The subject devices comprise an intraluminal detector capable of sensing radioactive or other labels. In the subject methods, a detectable marker is introduced to a body lumen, either into the lumen itself or systemically in patient circulation, and localizes at a lesion. The detector is introduced into the body lumen and the distribution of a localized marker detected <i>in situ</i>. The information is useful for a number of purposes including the identification of unstable plaque in patients suffering from atherosclerotic disease.</p> |
