Does transcutaneous ultrasound with phased tracking accurately evaluate the regional elasticity and composition of atherosclerotic plaques?
A novel transcutaneous ultrasound method using phased tracking can noninvasively evaluate plaque elasticity and composition, offering potential for detecting plaque vulnerability.
