OCT - optical coherence tomography
The principle by which OCT works is similar to ultrasound, although light waves close to infrared are used instead of ultrasounds. In practice, the light waves, emitted into the vessel through a special catheter positioned in the coronary artery, meet the surrounding structures and are partly absorbed and partly reflected by them. The reflected waves are picked up by a sensor positioned on the catheter and analyzed through software that produces images visible live on a special console.
