This image is borrowed from the present study by Orban et al. We have inserted colored areas for explanation. Red area: homogeneous tissue with low attenuation indicative of organized thrombus inside the vessel. Yellow line: luminal intima surface. Endothelium is not visible by OCT. Blue line: partly visible media layer. Green line: adventitia layer. The tissue indicated by the red area is located on and not within the intimal layer. OCT, optical coherence tomography.
