Figure 7. MAC in Optical Coherence Tomography.

Figure 7.

On OCT MAC appears as regions with homogeneous low signal intensity and sharply demarcated border zones. (A-C) Cross-sections of the coronary arteries. (A) MAC spans more than a half of the circumference (12 to 19 o’clock); (B) Extensive, partly eccentric MAC (13 to 15 o’clock); (C) Highly eccentric MAC (10 to 12 o’clock). Note the smooth and regular intima in all three images. Courtesy and Copyright, Abbott, Inc.
