Near-Infrared Autofluorescence (NIRAF) in Atherosclerotic Plaque Dissociates from Intraplaque Hemorrhage and Bilirubin

Near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) in unstable atherosclerotic plaque has been suggested as a novel imaging technology for high-risk atherosclerosis. Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and bilirubin, derived from the subsequent degradation of heme, have been proposed as the source of NIRAF, although t...
