On the Feasibility of Quantifying Fibrous Cap Thickness With Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) Ultrasound
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ULTRASONICS FERROELECTRICS AND FREQUENCY CONTROL, 63(9), 1262–1275.
author keywords: Acoustic radiation force; acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI); atherosclerosis; fibrous cap (FC); finite-element method (FEM); resolution; vulnerable plaque
MeSH headings : Carotid Arteries / diagnostic imaging; Elasticity Imaging Techniques; Humans; Motion; Plaque, Atherosclerotic / diagnostic imaging; Ultrasonography
TL;DR:
The results of this study demonstrate that tracking pulse frequencies around 12 MHz are necessary to resolve caps around 0.2 mm; large motion-tracking kernel sizes introduce bias into thickness measurements and overestimate the true cap thickness; and color saturation settings on ARFI peak displacement images can impact thickness measurement accuracy substantially.
