Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is frequently associated with the sudden rupture of a
vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque within the coronary artery. Several unique physiological …

Diagnostic techniques to identify vulnerable plaques are rapidly evolving. Intravascular
ultrasound (IVUS) has the ability to detect and localize plaque as well as quantitate plaque …

Intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) plays very important roles in clinical cardiology.
This book describes the newest advances in vascular ultrasound imaging and the …

Objective: For accurate diagnosis of atherosclerosis, the high spatial and contrast
resolutions of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images are a key requirement. Increasing the …

Visualization of the blood vessels can provide valuable morphological information for
diagnosis and therapy strategies for cardiovascular disease. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) …

We demonstrate two methods for vasa vasorum imaging using contrast-enhanced
intravascular ultrasound, which can be performed using commercial catheters. Plaque …

Aims Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are mostly caused by plaque rupture. This study
aims to investigate the prognostic value of in vivo detection of high-risk coronary plaques by …

Combined intravascular ultrasound and intravascular photoacoustic (IVUS/IVPA) imaging is
an emerging hybrid modality being explored as a means of improving the characterization of …

Virtual Histology (VH) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) allows differentiation between 4
different tissue phenotypes. However, the current classification tree for analysis cannot …

OBJECTIVE To test the efficacy of high frequency intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
transducers in identifying lipid/necrotic pools in atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS 40 MHz …
