Quantification of Atherosclerotic Plaque Elasticity Using Ultrasonic Texture Matching

Quantification of Atherosclerotic Plaque Elasticity Using Ultrasonic Texture Matching

The composition of an atherosclerotic plaque is a major determinant of its vulnerability, i.e. proneness to rupture. This paper proposes an ultrasonic texture matching method, which is shown to reflect the distribution of elastic modulus and is a potential method for quantitatively analyzing differe...
