P6.09 ULTRASONOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENT OF ARTERIAL WALL AND INTRAPLAQUE STRAIN IN THE CAROTID BULB AND COMMON CAROTID ARTERY

P6.09 ULTRASONOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENT OF ARTERIAL WALL AND INTRAPLAQUE STRAIN IN THE CAROTID BULB AND COMMON CAROTID ARTERY

Background: Transient ischemic attacks and stroke are commonly caused by vulnerable plaques in the carotid bulb. Noninvasive ultrasound imaging techniques, revealing spatial inhomogeneities in strain distribution, could possibly improve the timely diagnosis of plaque at risk of rupturing. Methods:...
