Conclusion
- Developed a fully integrated
FLIm-IVUS catheter system (3.7 Fr) and demonstrated functionality of this bi-modal catheter system in-vivo in pig coronaries
- Currently we develop an further optimized catheter
version (3.2 Fr) based on freeform optics employing a 100 µm fiberoptic
- Seek FDA approval for first in human studies
IVUS
- FLIm parameters can be used to automatically predict specific biochemical features
(e.g. FC, ECL, etc). They can be depicted as abundance maps based on pathology and classification
- FLIm derived information has the potential to augment IVUS images for a better
prediction of distinct pathophysiologies of coronary vessels
