The Golden Image™

LightLab OCT imaging systems produce golden images that are clear and incredibly detailed, giving interventional cardiologists an unprecedented view of the coronary lumen and its morphometrics. The Golden Image leaves no doubt. See your patient’s coronary lumen and structures in extreme resolution and make even the hardest treatment decisions with confidence.

See how LightLab’s Golden Image is revolutionizing intravascular imaging. In the following tissue sample sequences the same vessel segment is viewed with Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (TD-OCT), a corresponding histological slice of the same tissue, and IVUS. The OCT image provides a nearly identical representation of the actual histological view of the same tissue providing far more detail than the IVUS images.
