AB  - The identification of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries 
      is emerging as an important tool for guiding atherosclerosis diagnosis and 
      interventions. Assessment of plaque vulnerability requires knowledge of both the 
      structure and composition of the plaque. Intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) 
      imaging is able to show the morphology and composition of atherosclerotic plaque. 
      With imminent improvements in IVPA imaging, it is becoming possible to assess 
      human coronary artery disease in vivo. Although some challenges remain, IVPA 
      imaging is on its way to being a powerful tool for visualising coronary 
      atherosclerotic features that have been specifically associated with plaque 
      vulnerability and clinical syndromes, and thus such imaging might become valuable 
      for clinical risk assessment in the catheterisation laboratory.
