LightLab Imaging debuts new OCT system at EuroPCR

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) developer LightLab Imaging has launched its C7XR FD-OCT imaging system with the C7 Dragonfly Imaging Catheter at EuroPCR 2009 in Barcelona, Spain.

The C7XR FD-OCT imaging system, an approved Frequency Domain OCT product for intracoronary imaging, received the CE Mark in March. The C7XR FD-OCT imaging system and C7 Dragonfly Imaging Catheter enables micron level resolution imaging of the coronary artery with the capability to scan a 40mm artery segment in less than three seconds with a non-occlusive catheter, according to the firm.
