Atherosclerosis is a diffuse process that involves vessel structures. In recent years, the
relation of noninvasive parameters such as intima-media thickening (IMT), arterial …

We have developed a system to acquire in vivo three-dimensional (3D) colour velocity
images of peripheral vasculature. A clinical ultrasound system was modified by mounting the …

The carotid artery wall was studied with ultrasound in 23 children and adolescents with
familial hypercholesterolaemia and in 23 age‐matched healthy controls. The study revealed …

The accurate assessment of carotid artery disease is an important challenge for magnetic
resonance (MR) angiography. Studies indicate that the detection and grading of stenosis …

High-resolution ultrasonographic imaging is a noninvasive method that allows estimation of
the thickness of the intima-media complex in human carotid arteries. The determination of …

This paper presents preliminary results of a technique that permits acquisition and display of
