Non-Invasive Imaging of Vascular Inflammation
In large-vessel vasculitides, inflammatory infiltrates may cause thickening of the involved arterial vessel wall leading to progressive stenosis and occlusion. Dilatation, aneurysm formation, and thrombosis may also ensue. Activated macrophages and T lymphocytes are fundamental elements in vascular inflammation. The amount and density of the inflammatory infiltrate is directly linked to local d...
متن کاملApplication of Synthetic Aperture Imaging to Non-Invasive Vascular Elastography
Elastography imaging is performed by subjecting the tissue under investigation to a form of mechanical excitation. The resultant tissue displacement vector is measured and can be used compute the spatial variation of strain within the tissue. These strain maps, known as elastograms, serve as surrogates for tissue elasticity. While elastography can be performed with any imaging modality, ultraso...
متن کاملAdvances in imaging vascular inflammation
Inflammation is central to the pathogenesis of many vascular diseases. Despite an understanding of the natural history, predicting progression and acute complications remains an important clinical challenge in both atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysms. Current means of monitoring rely mainly on structural information, such as the extent of luminal stenosis on coronary angiography or maximum ane...
متن کاملNon-invasive imaging of non-linear interactions
Interactions between neuronal assemblies form a basis for the mechanism of functional integration that underlies most of our actions. Studying these interactions is important for understanding the principles of brain operation. However, such neuronal communications are hallmark of a living brain and therefore it is of paramount importance to develop tools for imaging of these interactions on th...
متن کاملFuture non-invasive imaging to detect vascular plaque instability and subclinical non-obstructive atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis underlies the major causes of death in the Western World. Our main goal is to detect early changes of atherosclerosis and to identify subjects at highest cardiovascular risk that may aid in the development of prevention approaches and better management that will decrease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The new methods that are of interest include the advanced vascular ul...
