The Advantages of OCT

HIGH RESOLUTION:
Current OCT systems have resolutions at 4-20 um compared to 110 um for high frequency ultrasound.

TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION:
Using information inherent to the returning photon signals, OCT can perform both spectroscopic and polarization imaging to better evaluate the composition of tissues and lesions.

SMALL SIZE:
The fiber-based design allows easy integration with small catheter/endoscopes.

REAL TIME IMAGING:
Imaging is at or near real time.

LIGHTLAB DESIGN ADVANTAGES:

• PC Based,
• Digital system architecture enables a compact, portable easily upgraded system.
• Fully-mobile, facilitating sharing between labs
• Small footprint for use in even the tightest spaces
• Dual screens allow simultaneous use by system operator and physician
• Supports both ImageWire and Helios Occlusion Balloon Catheter
