AB  - The rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is the leading cause of death in developed 
      countries. Early identification of vulnerable plaque is the essential step in 
      preventing acute coronary events. Intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) technology 
      is able to visualize chemical composition of atherosclerotic plaque with high 
      specificity and sensitivity. Integrated with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) 
      imaging, this multimodal intravascular IVPA/IVUS imaging technology is able to 
      provide both structural and chemical compositions of arterial walls for detecting 
      and characterizing atherosclerotic plaques. In this paper, we present 
      representative multimodal IVPA/IVUS imaging systems and discuss current 
      scientific innovations, potential limitations, and prospective improvements for 
      characterization of coronary atherosclerosis.
