The OCT App serves as an educational tool designed to instruct interventional cardiologists worldwide on intra-coronary optical coherence tomography (OCT). This resource aims to simplify the understanding of OCT for physicians across the globe.

There is a growing interest among interventional cardiologists in learning OCT due to its significant benefits such as aiding in image analysis, determining plaque characteristics, visualizing intra-coronary pathology, and optimizing stent placement.

Recognized as a leader in interventional cardiology globally, Mount Sinai Heart is an ideal institution for educating medical professionals in this field, given the wide array of cases and pathologies observed at The Mount Sinai Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.

The OCTAID app is structured to teach the principles of intra-coronary imaging and guide users through understanding OCT pullback images. Upon completing the app, users will feel more confident in interpreting various common examples through labeled images and detailed explanations. Additionally, the application includes a link to an interactive portal where users can test their knowledge with still images and pullback videos.

This mobile application allows medical professionals worldwide to access cutting-edge technology on-the-go, providing exposure they may not easily attain otherwise. As the field of intra-coronary imaging progresses, so does the use of optical coherence tomography. The necessity to educate medical professionals on performing and interpreting OCT is evident, and this app effectively addresses these needs on a global scale.
