Quantitative intravascular near-infrared fluorescence imaging

Cardiac arrest caused by the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is one of the main causes of death in the western world. Intravascular near-infrared fluorescence (iNIRF) imaging can be used to detect plaques at high risk of rupture, utilizing a catheter that delivers laser light to excite fluorochro...
