About this ebook
Intravascular Ultrasound: From Acquisition to Advanced Quantitative Analysis covers topics of the whole imaging pipeline, ranging from the definition of the clinical problem and image acquisition systems to image processing and analysis, including the assisted clinical-decision making procedures and treatment planning (stent deployment and follow up). Atherosclerosis, a disease of the vessel wall that produces vessel narrowing and obstruction, is the major cause of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack or stroke. This book covers all aspects of this imaging tool that allows for the visualization of internal vessel structures and the quantification and characterization of coronary plaque. - Provides an introduction to the clinical workflow and current challenges in endovascular interventions - Presents a review of the state-of-the-art methodologies in IVUS imaging and their applications - Includes a rich analysis of the current and potential future connections between the academic, clinical and industrial fields
