Overview

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that can impact pre-and-post-physician decision-making in daily clinical practice. The OPTISTMintegrated system (St. Jude Medical, Inc.) is a new technology allowing the online co-registration of OCT images with the angiogram in the catheterization laboratory. This integration of OCT information on an angiographic roadmap could find broad application in the treatment of complex or diffuse disease, where special orientation could be challenging. The whitepaper by Dr. Evelyn Regar includes two case studies illustrating the role of angiographic co-registration and how it can guide physician decision-making in a reliable manner.
