Why the study?
Does 3-D extravascular ultrasound provide comparable carotid geometry reconstruction to MRI in healthy subjects?
Does 3-D extravascular ultrasound provide comparable carotid geometry reconstruction to MRI in healthy subjects?
3-DUS has the potential to become an inexpensive and fast alternative to MRI for image-based CFD modeling of superficial arteries.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet replace MRI for full carotid geometry reconstruction; hypothesis-generating for 3DUS in CFD modeling of superficial arteries.
Glor et al. (2003) studied this question.
