IN SILICO INTRAVASCULAR OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (IVOCT) FOR QUALITY ASSURED IMAGING WITH REDUCED INTERVENTION

In silico intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) for quality assured imaging with reduced intervention

Abstract In the clinical application of intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT), it is necessary to flush opaque blood during image acquisition.However, there are no specific standards for how to perform low-dose but effective flushing.In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and optical models were integrated to numerically sim

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in the Autoimmunity Context

The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a strategy utilized by neutrophils for capturing infective agents.Extracellular traps consist in a physical net made of DNA and intracellular proteins externalized from neutrophils, where bacteria and viruses are entrapped and killed by proteolysis.A complex series of events contributes to a
