Whole Body Three Dimensional Plaque Imaging
Introduction Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease. Angiographic approaches are “luminograms” and provide no data on vascular remodeling and plaque burden which are far more important determinants of risk in vascular diseases. Assessment of overall plaque burden with current 2D MRI approaches [1-3] has important limitations. Firstly, imaging is limited to selective anatomical regions (e.g., car...

Thus paragangliomas may arise anywhere along these tracts and common sites of occurrence include abdomen, retroperitoneum, chest and mediastinum and various head and neck locations such as jugulotympanic membrane, orbit, nasopharynx, larynx, vagal body and carot...
متن کاملCarotid Body Tumor.
INTRODUCTION The carotid body tumour was first described by von Haller in 1743. The first two, unsuccessfully surgically treated carotid body tumours, were done by Reinger in 1880 (his patient died), and by Maydel in 1886 (his patient developed hemiplegia). Scudder made the first successful surgical removal of the carotid body tumour in 1903. Using data from the Cologne (Germany) Medline Resear...
متن کاملUltrafast three-dimensional ultrasound: application to carotid artery imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Three-dimensional (3-D) vascular ultrasound can be expected to improve qualitative evaluation of vessel pathology and to provide quantitative data on vascular morphology and function. The objective of this study was to develop an ultrafast 3-D vascular system and to validate its performance for quantitation of atherosclerosis and assessment of regional arterial distensibi...
