Key result
Generating 3-D ultrasound volume images retaining the full range of gray levels from IVUS is feasible and allows optimal assessment and quantitation of arterial wall pathology.
Why the study?
Does three-dimensional volumetric ultrasound imaging retaining full gray levels from 2D IVUS allow for accurate assessment and quantitation of arterial wall pathology compared to histology in vitro?
