Contrast-Enhanced Quantitative Intravascular Elastography: The Impact of Microvasculature on Model-Based Elastography
2016
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology
Model-based intravascular ultrasound elastography visualizes the stress distribution within vascular tissue -information that clinicians could use to predict the propensity of atherosclerotic plaque rupture. However, there are concerns that clusters of microvessels may reduce the accuracy of the estimated stress distribution. Consequently, we have developed a contrast-enhanced intravascular ultrasound system to investigate how plaque microvasculature impacts the performance of model-based
