OFDI-NIRF Cutaway

Caption

Combined optical frequency-domain imaging and near-infrared fluorescence image of the inner surface of a rabbit artery shows an implanted arterial stent (blue) and fibrin deposits (red-yellow). By revealing both structural and molecular detail, OFDI-NIRF may improve diagnosis of coronary artery disease and help evaluate stent healing.
