Novel Technique Accurately Assesses Cardiovascular Risks

Caption

Images show qualitative comparison of image quality between volumetric multispectral optoacoustic tomographic (hereafter, vMSOT) and B-mode US in two volunteers. Right carotid artery (RCA) and left carotid artery (LCA) are shown in a 31-year-old woman (subject 1) and in a 26-year-old woman (subject 2), respectively. A, vMSOT images of carotid artery bifurcation in coronal view represented in maximum intensity projections (MIPs). B, vMSOT and B-mode US images of carotid bifurcation in sagittal cross-sectional views. Orange and green frames correspond to vMSOT and US images, respectively, where orange dashed lines in A indicate section shown in B. CC = common carotid, EC = external carotid, IC = internal carotid, OA = optoacoustic.
