Detection of atherosclerotic plaques with HDL-like porphyrin nanoparticles using an intravascular dual-modality optical coherence tomography and fluorescence system
Abstract Atherosclerosis is the build-up of fatty plaques within blood vessel walls, which can occlude the vessels and cause strokes or heart attacks. It gives rise to both structural and biomolecular changes in the vessel walls. Current single-modality imaging techniques each measure one of these t...
