Recently, investigators performed the first human coronary imaging studies of patients using a clinically approved NIRF‐OCT catheter [147]. While this catheter was used to detect plaque NIR autofluorescence, or NIRAF (no imaging agent was injected), the ability to safely acquired NIRF‐OCT images is a major step forward in realizing intracoronary molecular imaging. NIRAF itself may indicated the presence of intraplaque hemorrhage [148].
