OCT - Optical Coherence Tomography

Optical Coherence Tomography in Bhopal | Dr. Chandra Kumar

Optical Coherence Tomography in Bhopal is an advanced intravascular imaging technology that provides ultra-high-resolution images of the inside of coronary arteries. It helps cardiologists accurately evaluate artery blockages, plaque characteristics, calcium deposits, blood clots, and stent placement during coronary angiography and angioplasty.

Using near-infrared light, OCT produces highly detailed cross-sectional images that enable precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Dr. Chandra Kumar Singh, an experienced Interventional Cardiologist in Bhopal, offers OCT-guided coronary imaging to improve the accuracy, safety, and long-term success of complex cardiac procedures.

What is OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)?

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a minimally invasive imaging procedure performed during coronary angiography or angioplasty. A specialized catheter with a tiny optical imaging probe is advanced into the coronary artery to capture detailed images of the artery’s inner wall.

Compared with conventional angiography, OCT provides much higher image resolution, allowing the cardiologist to identify plaque rupture, blood clots, calcium deposits, stent expansion, and vessel healing with exceptional clarity.

OCT helps ensure the most appropriate treatment strategy for patients with coronary artery disease.
