Combining AI with OCT shows potential for detecting lipid-rich plaques in coronary arteries. The technique feeds wavelength-dependent information from OCT images into an AI model, which learns to recognize signal patterns that are more likely to originate from lipid-rich tissue and then automatically highlight suspicious regions in tissue throughout the image. The approach, which doesn't require additional hardware, could support safer clinical decision-making, such as providing clinicians with additional information to support risk assessment, procedural planning and evaluation of treatment responses during coronary intervention.
