This dual-modality instrument performs near-infrared spectroscopic analysis of the vessel to detect lipid core-containing plaques of interest (LCP) displayed in a map called a Chemogram, and simultaneously generates high resolution IVUS images that display structural details of the vessel and plaque in transverse and longitudinal views
