Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging Quantification of Adventitial Vasa Vasorum in a Rabbit Model of Varying Degrees of Atherosclerosis

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging Quantification of Adventitial Vasa Vasorum in a Rabbit Model of Varying Degrees of Atherosclerosis

Abstract This study used an atherosclerotic rabbit model to investigate the feasibility of quantifying adventitial vasa vasorum (VV) via contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging to identify early atherosclerosis. Recent evidence has linked adventitial VV with atherosclerotic plaque progression an...
