- Angiography is the standard imaging modality for vascular disease but has limited spatial resolution.
- Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution, 3D imaging of coronary arteries, improving outcomes in coronary interventions.
- OCT is expanding into neurointerventional surgery with new technology designed for cerebral vessels.
- Neuro-dedicated OCT could enhance cerebrovascular imaging, offering better insights into neurovascular pathology.
- The article provides guidance on interpreting OCT imaging of intracranial arteries and reviews its applications in neurointervention.
- Early clinical experience shows OCT's safety and feasibility for intracranial vascular imaging.
