- Abstract
Optical coherence tomography is a new endocoronary imaging modality employing near infrared light, with very high axial resolution. We will review the physical principles, including the old time domain and newer Fourier domain generations, clinical applications, controversies and perspectives of optical coherence tomography., (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.
