Supports reproducible noninvasive carotid assessment; leaves open validation for tracking atherosclerosis progression.
Observational (n=37)
Quantitative vascular echography is a reproducible, noninvasive method for assessing vascular geometry and plaque burden in the internal carotid artery.
Ciccone et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Atherosclerosis (n=37). Quantitative vascular echography was evaluated on Intraobserver and interobserver variability and reproducibility. A new quantitative vascular echography method for assessing internal carotid artery geometry and plaque mass demonstrated intraobserver and interobserver variability of less than 8%.
