Explore additional educational resources to learn more about OCT imaging in a variety of formats.
OCT-ober is Abbott’s annual educational initiative on Twitter @AbbottCardio to teach about OCT and highlight the role and impact of image-guided PCI. Launched in 2018, the campaign has established #OCTimaging hashtag for OCT-related conversations. Since then, it has been used in more than 2K tweets and reached over 4MM impressions,* amplifying the awareness of imaging across the globe.
The content is published in a form of short tweetorials (a thread of tweets) and covers a range of topics such as the basics of OCT, why optimize PCI with OCT, how to diagnose coronary calcium with OCT, how to identify in-stent restenosis (ISR) with OCT and more.
Check out these short, digestible threads by year and topic:

Indications: The Dragonfly™ OPTIS™ Imaging Catheter with the OCT Imaging System is intended for the imaging of coronary arteries and is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures. The Dragonfly™ OPTIS™ Imaging Catheter is intended for use in vessels 2.0 to 3.5 mm in diameter. The Dragonfly™ OPTIS™ Imaging Catheter is not intended for use in the left main coronary artery or in a target vessel which has undergone a previous bypass procedure.
Contraindications: Use of the Dragonfly™ OPTIS™ Imaging Catheter is contraindicated where introduction of any catheter would constitute a threat to patient safety. Contraindications include:
Warnings and Precautions:
Potential Adverse Events: The following complications may occur as a consequence of intravascular imaging:
MAT-2115908 v2.0
Indications The OPTIS™ Software and AptiVue™ E Series Software are intended to be used only with compatible OPTIS™ Imaging Systems.
The OPTIS™ Imaging System with a compatible Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheter is intended for the imaging of coronary arteries and is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures. The compatible Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheters are intended for use in vessels 2.0 to 3.5 mm in diameter. The compatible Dragonfly™ Imaging Catheters are not intended for use in the left main coronary artery or in a target vessel which has undergone a previous bypass procedure.
The OPTIS™ Imaging System is intended for use in the catheterization and related cardiovascular specialty laboratories and will further compute and display various physiological parameters based on the output from one or more electrodes, transducers, or measuring devices. The physician may use the acquired physiological parameters, along with knowledge of patient history, medical expertise and clinical judgment to determine if therapeutic intervention is indicated.
Contraindications: The OPTIS™ Integrated System and Mobile System with Software are contraindicated where introduction of any catheter would constitute a threat to patient safety. Contraindications include:
NOTE: The systems have no patient alarm functions. Do not use for cardiac monitoring.
Warnings:
Precautions:
MAT-2115909 v2.0
Indications: The Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter with the OCT Imaging System is intended for the imaging of coronary arteries and is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures. The Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter is intended for use in vessels 2.0 to 3.5 mm in diameter. The Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter is not intended for use in the left main coronary artery or in a target vessel which has undergone a previous bypass procedure.
Contraindications: Use of the Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter is contraindicated where introduction of any catheter would constitute a threat to patient safety. Contraindications include:
Warnings:
Precautions:
Complications:
The following complications may occur as a consequence of intravascular imaging and catheterization procedure:
MAT-2115499 v3.0
The Ultreon™ 1.0 Software is intended to be used only with compatible OPTIS™ Next Imaging Systems. The OPTIS™ Next Imaging System with a compatible Dragonfly™ OPTIS™ Imaging Catheter or Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter is intended for the imaging of coronary arteries and is indicated in patients who are candidates for transluminal interventional procedures. The Dragonfly™ OPTIS™ Imaging Catheter or Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter is intended for use in vessels 2.0 to 3.5 mm in diameter. The Dragonfly™ OPTIS™ Imaging Catheter or Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter is not intended for use in the left main coronary artery or in a target vessel which has undergone a previous bypass procedure.
