P2.9 A NOVEL SPECKLE TRACKING TECHNIQUE FOR INVESTIGATING REGIONAL MOTION OF THE CAROTID WALL: SPATIO-TEMPORAL VARIATION IN DISTENSION ASSOCIATES WITH PRESENCE OF CALCIFIED PLAQUE
Background: Arterial calcification may lead to regional variation in distension imposing stresses on the arterial wall that predispose to plaque rupture. The objective of this study was to use a novel speckle tracking method to investigate regional motion of the carotid wall and to determine whether...
