Background Initially, CTA was limited by the use of single slice scanners that imaged a
fraction of the arterial tree at a given time. With the advent of multidetector row CT, images of …

The global burden of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is significant. This has led to
numerous recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in PAD. Older …

We evaluate Website authentication measures that are designed to protect users from man-
in-the-middle,'phishing', and other site forgery attacks. We asked 67 bank customers to …

Purpose: Optimal balloon angioplasty for infrapopliteal lesions is often limited by severe

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There are limited studies on the morphologic
characteristics of MCA atherosclerotic stenosis. Our aim was to quantitatively assess the …

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the primary trigger of fatal cardiovascular events. Fibrillar
collagen in atherosclerotic plaques and their directionality are anticipated to play a crucial …

Clinical decision-making for the treatment of patients with diseased carotid artery is mainly
based on the severity of the stenosis. However, stenosis severity alone is not a sensitive …

Medial artery calcification (MAC) is a characteristic feature of diabetes. MAC represents a
concentric calcification that proceeds via matrix vesicle-nucleated mineralization …

Flow recirculation zones and shear rate are associated with distinct pathogenic biological
pathways relevant to thrombosis and atherogenesis. The interaction between stenosis …
