As a well-known medical imaging methodology, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging
plays a critical role in diagnosis, treatment guidance and post-treatment assessment of …

Cumulative evidence from histology-based studies demonstrate that the currently available
intravascular imaging techniques have fundamental limitations that do not allow complete …

Atherosclerosis is a lipoprotein-driven inflammatory disorder leading to a plaque formation
at specific sites of the arterial tree. After decades of slow progression, atherosclerotic plaque …

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) is an optical spectroscopic imaging technique capable

In this contribution we present a dual modality fiber optic probe combining fluorescence
lifetime imaging (FLIm) and Raman spectroscopy for in vivo endoscopic applications. The …

Comprehensive imaging of both the structural and biochemical characteristics of
atherosclerotic plaque is essential for the diagnosis and study of coronary artery disease …

Existing clinical intravascular imaging modalities are not capable of accurate detection of
critical plaque pathophysiology in the coronary arteries. This study reports the first …

Collagen and elastin proteins are major components of the extracellular matrix of many
organs. The presence of collagen and elastin networks, and their associated properties, in …

Actinic cheilitis is a potentially malignant disorder of the lips. Its first cause is believed to be
UV sun radiation. The lesion is highly heterogeneous, making the choice of area to be …

This study evaluates the ability of label-free fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) to
