Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

45
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 for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography

401
Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion,...

Ultrasonography

4.7K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Echocardiography plays a role in assessing cardiac health and detecting heart conditions, with various types providing critical insights for diagnosis and treatment.
Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Cardiovascular Research

Background:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution structural imaging.
  • Assessing tissue biomechanical properties is crucial for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases.
  • Existing methods for intravascular tissue characterization are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the feasibility of intravascular optical coherence elastography (OCE).
  • To simultaneously map tissue structure and biomechanical properties within coronary arteries.
  • To differentiate between healthy and diseased arterial tissue based on strain.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 1.1 mm motorized catheter with a 1.6 MHz Fourier domain mode-locked OCT system.
  • Induced intraluminal pressure changes to measure radial strain via pixel-matched phase change analysis.
  • Performed imaging in phantoms and human coronary arteries *in vitro* at 3019 frames/s.

Main Results:

  • Successfully captured dynamic strain patterns within the arterial wall.
  • Identified stiff inclusions in phantoms and calcifications in atherosclerotic plaques as regions of low strain.
  • Demonstrated that soft tissue exhibits elevated strain compared to stiff inclusions.
  • Provided the first circumferential intravascular OCE images alongside conventional OCT images.

Conclusions:

  • Intravascular OCE is a viable technique for assessing arterial biomechanics *in vivo*.
  • OCE can distinguish between different tissue compositions based on strain, aiding in plaque characterization.
  • Simultaneous structural and stiffness mapping offers enhanced diagnostic capabilities for cardiovascular conditions.
