光学相干断层扫描技术在动脉粥样硬化斑块评估中的应用进展 The Application Progress of Optical Coherence Tomography in the Evaluation of the Atherosclerotic Plaques

Abstract

卒中以其较高的发病率、致死率和致残率已成为目前危害人类健康的重大疾病之一，给 家庭和社会带来沉重的负担。斑块破裂及血栓形成被认为是急性缺血性事件的直接原因。近年来， 光学相干断层扫描（optical coherence tomography，OCT）技术以其极高的分辨率，可精确地评估血管的 超微结构，更好地分辨血管内成分，从而逐渐用于动脉粥样硬化斑块的临床检测和指导治疗。本文 就此技术在斑块评估中的应用做一综述。 Abstract: Stroke with its high morbidity, mortality and disability has become one of the major diseases that currently endanger human health, which has brought a heavy burden to the family and society. Plaque rupture and thrombosis are believed to be direct causes of acute ischemic events. In recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) with its high resolution, can accurately evaluate the ultrastructure of vessels and better distinguish intravascular composition, thus gradually get used in atherosclerotic treatment. This paper reviews the evaluation of this technique in the plaques.
