DICOM Software for Storage of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

In the field of cardiology, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an invasive light-based imaging technique based on the principle of light coherence. OCT has been developed to provide 3D high-resolution images of the coronary artery under normal or in diseases condition.

OCT has opened new opportunities to assess coronary lesions, allowing the progression from indirect and less accurate methods used in the past to a direct way to visualize vessels.

OCT is increasingly being used in a clinical practice environment. This procedure is particularly useful during challenging procedures, such as chronic total occlusions, to confirm that guidewire is located correctly, or in bifurcation lesion stenting. In terms of bifurcation lesion stenting, with 3D reconstructions of OCT images, it is possible to determine the position of the main vessel and the relative position of the side vessel, which is essential to determine a suitable strategy to conduct the remaining procedure.

To provide effective treatment in OCT, proper image acquisition is necessary which results in better decision making. As the process is critical, wrong interpretation of medical image data can increase complexity in a patient's medical condition.

The medical image data should be stored and managed carefully as data can result in wrong disease interpretation, treatment, and diagnosis information. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a standard protocol to store, manage and analyze medical image data.

JvsDiComPlus is the leading DICOM software solution. It is a simple to use Dicom viewer software that comes with External Hard disk. With JvsDiComPlus, tomographic and biomicroscopic images can be stored in high resolution. The software enables doctors to export OCT images in different formats.
