Early detection of cardiac allograft vasculopathy using highly automated 3d optical coherence tomography analysis

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) based studies of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) published thus far have mainly focused on frame-based qualitative analysis of the vascular wall. Full capabilities of this inherently 3D imaging modality to quantify CAV have not been fully exploited.
