Dye-Staining Coronary Angioscopy and Cardioscopy

Coronary angioscopy or cardioscopy using biocompatible markers is one choice for evaluation of tissues, cells, or molecules which comprise the target lesions. Angioscopy using EB as a biomarker, namely, dye-staining angioscopy, has been developed and applied for molecular imaging of the substances that constitute atherosclerotic lesions.
