Clinical trials: Shear Wave Elastography
Carotid Artery Plaque
New Technologies to Determine Carotid Plaque Vulnerability in Patients With Significant Carotid Plaques
The researchers are trying to determine if the characterization of "vulnerable" carotid artery plaques can be accomplished with ultrasound-based methods that look for vessels in the plaque and measure the plaque stiffness.
