Abstract:
:In vitro studies have established that intravascular ultrasound is a reliable technique for accurate assessment of vascular anatomic structure and disease conditions before and after intervention. In addition, quantitative data from intravascular ultrasound studies correspond well with histologic findings, which serve as the gold standard. These in vitro studies permit the understanding and interpretation of ultrasound images obtained in vivo, although differences between the two settings should be taken into account. New ultrasound modalities currently being developed may enhance the diagnostic differentiation of plaque morphologic characteristics and facilitate on-line quantitative assessment of vessel structure.
