- •
This study evaluated the utility of OFDI in the assessment of calcified plaques.
- •
OFDI showed a good correlation with histology in the measurement of calcification thickness, however outer border of calcification was vague when lipid components were involved in the calcification.
- •
Calcified nodules exhibited an atypical appearance in OFDI showing attenuation with an irregular surface.
- •
OFDI demonstrated a greater ability to quantify and qualify coronary arterial calcification compared with IVUS.
