Abstract
We report the development and characterization of a multispectral FLIm/ polarization-sensitive OCT intravascular imaging catheter system. This system targets the improved characterization of two key contributors to atherosclerosis disease development: inflammation and disruption of the extracellular matrix, by enabling the evaluation of biochemical signature, birefringence, and depolarization in addition to lesion morphology. We present key aspects of the system’s design and performance and highlight challenges associated with the development of intravascular imaging systems suitable for clinical translation.
