This chapter discusses the progression from the use of angiography to identify and characterize coronary atherosclerosis to novel intracoronary imaging techniques, which has enabled a greater appreciation of plaque composition in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. With particular focus on intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, the chapter highlights the different strengths and weaknesses of each technique, and potential future developments.
