Ultrasound measurement of atherosclerosis.
Ultrasound Measurement of Atherosclerosis To the Editor: The recent review of intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements by Bots et al,1 while presenting cogent arguments for use of maximum versus mean carotid IMT for studies of interventions, failed to discuss important limitations of IMT. They claim as an important advantage of IMT, as opposed to morbidity and mortality as end-points, the cons...
متن کاملUltrasound molecular imaging of atherosclerosis.
Recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of atherosclerosis have created the need for better non-invasive imaging of vascular phenotype. Ultrasound is widely available, inexpensive, and well suited for high-throughput screening in populations that are at risk for atherosclerosis. Novel ultrasonic approaches for the diagnosis of vascular changes in atherosclerosi...
متن کاملUltrasound Screening of Multifocal Atherosclerosis
Results. We have found high frequency of MFA simultaneously affecting coronary, carotid and femoral arteries. Intima-media thickness (IMT), which is a coronary atherosclerosis marker, had verifiable increasing in the common carotid artery (CCA) and common femoral artery (CFA) in the case of patients with chronic heart disease (CHD). In patients with CHD using ultrasound we established high freq...
متن کاملUltrasound Measurement of Kidney Dimensions in Premature Neonates
Background Ultrasonography is a non-invasive and accurate diagnostic method to evaluate urinary system and its anomalies in the neonates. Kidney sonographic measurement can be used as an alternative method to estimate gestational age. The aim of this study was to measure kidney size in preterm neonates and to provide a guide reference for gestational age. <...
متن کاملVascular ultrasound for atherosclerosis imaging.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the Western world. Therefore, detection and quantification of atherosclerotic disease is of paramount importance to monitor treatment and possible prevention of acute events. Vascular ultrasound is an excellent technique to assess the geometry of vessel walls and plaques. The high temporal as well as spatial resolution allows quantification ...
