Summary

Optical coherence tomography is a new endocoronary imaging modality employing near infrared light, with very high axial resolution. We will review the physical principles, including the old time domain and newer Fourier domain generations, clinical applications, controversies and perspectives of optical coherence tomography.

Résumé

La tomographie par cohérence optique est une modalité d’imagerie récente endocoronaire utilisant la lumière infrarouge, caractérisée par une haute résolution. Dans cet article, on discute les principes physiques en discutant l’ancienne et la nouvelle génération de tomographie par cohérence optique, time domain et Fourier domain respectivement.
