The past decade has witnessed the rapid development of new MRI technology for vessel
wall imaging. Today, with advances in MRI hardware and pulse sequences, quantitative MRI …

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of large and medium-sized arteries,
characterized by the growth of atherosclerotic lesions (plaques). These plaques often …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is uniquely suited to study the pathophysiology of
arteriosclerosis. So far, magnetic resonance (MR) measurements of vessel dimensions have …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Current clinical techniques that rely on stenosis measurement alone appear to be …

Objectives To investigate reproducibility of quantitative measurement and radiomic features
in vessel wall MRI (VW-MRI), evaluate the impact of lesion size, and identify reproducible …

Purpose To develop and evaluate a method that can fully automatically identify the vessel
wall boundaries and quantify the wall thickness for both common carotid artery (CCA) and …

This review examines the state of the art in vessel wall imaging by magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) with an emphasis on the biomechanical assessment of atherosclerotic …

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western
world and developing countries. In clinical practice, in vivo characterization of …

Since the risks for thrombosis are more dependent on plaque composition than on the
degree of luminal narrowing, the radiological assessment of atherosclerosis should extend …

Purpose: Arterial distensibility is a marker that can measure vessel wall functional and
structural changes resulting from atherosclerosis with applications including estimation of …
