Purpose: To present a review of most commonly used techniques to analyze dynamic
contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE‐MRI), discusses their strengths and …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is established in clinical practice for the
diagnosis and management of diseases of the cardiovascular system. However, current …

With continued debate over the functional significance of adult neurogenesis, identifying an
in vivo correlate of neurogenesis has become an important goal. Here we rely on the …

Coronary neovascularization may also accompany the early process of vessel wall
remodeling, as observed in hypercholesterolemic swine. 16 In this animal model …

Background—Previous studies suggest that erythrocyte membranes from intraplaque
hemorrhage into the necrotic core are a source of free cholesterol and may become a …

Background—Previous studies with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
(CEMRI) have shown that the fibrous cap (FC) in atherosclerotic carotid plaques enhances …

Background—Angiogenesis is a critical feature of plaque development in atherosclerosis
and might play a key role in both the initiation and later rupture of plaques that lead to …

Atherothrombosis, characterised by atherosclerotic lesion disruption with superimposed
thrombus formation, is the major cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and …

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of
carotid atherosclerosis as a clinical tool to study intraplaque neovascularization …

“Vulnerable” plaques are atherosclerotic plaques that have a high likelihood to cause
thrombotic complications, such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Plaques that tend to …
