Intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging technique used in cardiology to visualize the interior of coronary arteries at a very high resolution. This methodology employs near-infrared light to create cross-sectional images of the coronary vessels, allowing for detailed assessment of the artery's structure and any pathological changes.
