3.1 STRAIN DISCONTINUITIES IN CAROTID ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUES – A NOVEL MARKER FOR PLAQUE VULNERABILITY?
Objective: Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is ultimately a biomechanical event. We aim to develop and validate a novel method using ultrasound radiofrequency (RF) measurements to determine intraplaque inhomogeneities in the strain distribution with a high axial resolution which may identify ruptu...
