Model-based vascular elastography improves the detection of flow-induced carotid artery remodeling in mice
Abstract Increased arterial thickness measured with ultrasound correlates with future cardiovascular events, but conventional ultrasound imaging techniques cannot distinguish between intima, media, or atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid artery. In this work, we evaluated how well vascular elastogr...
