Detecting coronary vulnerable plaques in vivo and assessing their vulnerability have been great challenges for clinicians and the research community. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is commonly used in clinical practice for diagnosis and treatment decisions. However, due to IVUS limited resolution (about 150-200µm), it is not sufficient to detect vulnerable plaques with a threshold cap thickness of 65µm. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has a resolution of 15-20µm and can measure fibrous cap thickness more accurately. The aim of this study was to use OCT
