Non-Invasive Imaging of Atherosclerosis is a primer, reference and
review of some of the key features of current activities in the
field of atherosclerosis. 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. 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. 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. 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.
