Zafar, Haroon; Ullah, Ihsan; Dinneen, Kate; Matiullah, Sajjad; Hanley, Alan; Leahy, Martin J.; Sharif, Faisal (Elsevier BV, 2014-07-01) -
Feasibility of intracoronary frequency domain optical coherence tomography derived fractional flow reserve for the assessment of coronary artery stenosis
Zafar, Haroon; Sharif, Faisal; Leahy, Martin J (International Heart Journal (Japanese Heart Journal), 2014-01-01)Frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) provides cross-sectional images of coronary arteries and deployed stents with micron resolution and measures lumen dimensions with excellent reproducibility. FD-OCT ... -
Functional imaging for regenerative medicine
Leahy, Martin; Thompson, Kerry; Zafar, Haroon; Alexandrov, Sergey; Foley, Mark; O’Flatharta, Cathal; Dockery, Peter (BMC, 2016-04-19)In vivo imaging is a platform technology with the power to put function in its natural structural context. With the drive to translate stem cell therapies into pre-clinical and clinical trials, early selection of the right ... -
Photoacoustic cardiovascular imaging: a new technique for imaging of atherosclerosis and vulnerable plaque detection
Zafar, Haroon; Leahy, Martin; Wijns, William; Kolios, Michael C; Zafar, Junaid; Johnson, Neil; Sharif, Faisal (IOP Publishing, 2018-03-13)The sudden rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque is one of the main causes of stroke and stroke induced death. Plaque composition plays a critical role in plaque rupture. In order to differentiate between different plaque ... -
