The Editors' goal is to provide  material and stimulating ideas to basic scientists and clinical  researchers in order to extend the application of vascular imaging and  to further develop methods suitable for investigation of the arterial  wall. \u003cbr\u003e  The first section presents current knowledge about pathology, vascular  mechanics and compensatory mechanisms active during atherogenesis. It  explores the early lesion, complications of plaques and early  detection of plaques. \u003cbr\u003e  Section II reviews several key methodological issues of B-mode  ultrasound imaging and some of the most current data. Quantitative  B-mode ultrasound is an established non-invasive tool widely used in  large epidemiologic studies and interventional clinical trials of  atherosclerosis. \u003cbr\u003e  The last section addresses the most promising areas of development in  vascular imaging. This involves new techniques to evaluate the  atherosclerotic bed, to follow atheroma progression\/regression and to  evaluate vascular mechanics in atherosclerotic arteries. The last  chapter places the application of non-invasive imaging in perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792380368\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5503-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 224\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311860043916,"sku":"9780792380368","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792380368.jpg?v=1771513457","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792380368","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
