【AIGC Short Abstract】:In this study, we introduced a dual-mode endoscopic system for intravascular imaging, integrating photoacoustic and optical coherence tomography techniques. This advanced system allows for the recognition of spontaneous coronary artery dissection phantoms, offering high-resolution and deep penetration images of intramural hematoma and clear visualization of blood vessel wall morphologies. Experimental results showcase its potential for accurate SCAD assessment in clinical settings.

Abstract
In this work, we present an intravascular dual-mode endoscopic system capable of both intravascular photoacoustic imaging (IVPAI) and intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) for recognizing spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) phantoms. IVPAI provides high-resolution and high-penetration images of intramural hematoma (IMH) at different depths, so it is especially useful for imaging deep blood clots associated with imaging phantoms. IVOCT can readily visualize the double-lumen morphology of blood vessel walls to identify intimal tears. We also demonstrate the capability of this dual-mode endoscopic system using mimicking phantoms and biological samples of blood clots in ex vivo porcine arteries. The results of the experiments indicate that the combined IVPAI and IVOCT technique has the potential to provide a more accurate SCAD assessment method for clinical applications.
