Notice of Removal: Intravascular shear wave propagation using acoustic radiation force generation from a 4.6 Fr transducer element
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis and critical limb ischemia, affects millions of people worldwide. There is a clinical need to base treatment decisions on quantitative analysis of the plaque composition. However, no reliable clinical methods to quantify the mechanical properties of plaque components and detect plaque vulnerability currently exist, particularly for coronary disease. Here we demonstrate the measurement of shear waves generated by acoustic radiation force (ARF) from an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) transducer prototype, as a potential means to quantifiably assess vascular plaques.
