Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Atherosclerosis involves plaque buildup in arteries, posing significant cardiovascular risks.
  • Current imaging techniques have limitations in fully characterizing plaque composition and vulnerable features.
  • Intravascular imaging modalities are crucial for in-situ assessment of arterial disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the applications of combined intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging for atherosclerosis.
  • To demonstrate the utility of IVPA/IVUS in assessing plaque composition, macrophage content, and molecular biomarkers.
  • To discuss the design of integrated IVPA/IVUS catheters for clinical use.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a catheter-based system integrating IVPA and IVUS imaging.
  • Acquiring high-resolution optical absorption maps and ultrasound data of arterial walls.
  • Analyzing imaging data for plaque characterization, including composition and molecular markers.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated capability of IVPA/IVUS to assess atherosclerotic plaque composition.
  • Successfully imaged macrophages within plaques and molecular biomarkers of plaque development.
  • Showcased imaging of coronary artery stents using the combined modality.

Conclusions:

  • Combined IVPA/IVUS imaging provides detailed optical absorption maps for comprehensive arterial wall assessment.
  • This integrated approach enhances the detection and characterization of atherosclerosis.
  • The development of integrated catheters paves the way for in vivo clinical applications.
