“…More specifically, the complex correlation coefficient is used as the measure for comparing pre-and post-deformation RF windows. The generic character of the method allows its use by different displacement estimation methods, e.g., O'Donnell et al (1991), which are commonly required for elasticity imaging methods.…”

“…Techniques that are able to characterize the elastic properties of plaque may therefore provide clinical information that may have a significant impact on patient care. Imaging of tissue elastic properties using ultrasound has shown great promise in the detection of cancers in the breast and prostate65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73, with several investigators using this modality to examine vascular tissue properties73,74,75,76. Elastography is one of the methods that have been used in imaging the elastic properties of tissue68,69,72,73.…”

A Review of Carotid Atherosclerosis and Vascular Cognitive Decline

This review encourages the reader to consider cerebral vascular disease beyond the traditional clinical end points of major motor and speech strokes and to consider the possible impact of embolic cerebral vascular disease on vascular cognitive decline. The paper examines the issue of “silent” strokes in the relationship between the structural stability of atherosclerotic carotid plaque and the development of nonmotor symptomatology, including cognitive decline. It addresses the question of the role of carotid emboli in “silent” stroke and their cognitive sequelae. In a study of endarterectomy patients, we relate plaque elasticity and its development of mechanical strain features and thinning of stabilizing fibrous cap at the point of these mechanical strain features. The possibility that microemboli from such mechanically unstable carotid plaques could contribute to “silent strokes” lead to a study of cognitive function in such patients. A linear relationship between the process of mechanically unstable areas of carotid plaques and cognitive decline suggests a contributory role for such a process in “silent strokes”.

“…Imaging tissue elastic properties has been rapidly developing into a new imaging modality that provides significant new information for diagnosis and treatment (Wilson and Robinson 1982;Krouskop et al 1987;Parker et al 1990;Yamakoshi et al 1990;O'Donnell et al 1991;Ophir et al 1991;Varghese et al 2001). Elastography has been used to characterize strain-based properties of vascular tissue (de Korte et al 2000a(de Korte et al , 2002.…”
