Does spatial and temporal speckle pattern analysis distinguish vulnerable from stable atherosclerotic plaques in human aortic specimens ex vivo?
Spatial and temporal speckle pattern analysis can distinguish vulnerable from stable atherosclerotic plaques ex vivo based on differences in decorrelation time constants.
Tearney et al. (2002) studied this question.
