Why the study?
Does measuring arterial distension at the inner wall yield different values compared to the outer wall in the common carotid artery?
Does measuring arterial distension at the inner wall yield different values compared to the outer wall in the common carotid artery?
Measuring arterial distension at the inner wall of the carotid artery yields significantly higher values than at the outer wall, suggesting outer wall tracking underestimates vessel distension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Outer-wall carotid tracking may underestimate distension; leaves open whether site affects risk prediction or requires protocol standardization.
Segers et al. (2004) studied this question.
