Haben asbestassoziierte Pleuraplaques einen Einfluss auf die Lungenfunktion?
… of HRCT-diagnosed asbestos related pleural plaques and cumulative asbestos exposure, independently of pleural and parenchymal variances, on lung function. Furthermore the difference between the correlations of lung function to pleural plaques, diagnosed either by HRCT or conventional …

Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Image Analysis
… deaths are due to the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques inside the arteries. Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (IVOCT), a high resolution (10-20µm) imaging modality that performs cross-sectional imaging of coronary arteries by measuring echoes of backscattered light, is rapidly becoming …

Quantifying Atherosclerosis: IVUS Imaging For Lumen Border Detection And Plaque Characterization
… understand progression of such a disease, detect plaques at risks (vulnerable plaques), and treat them selectively to prevent mortality and immobility. Consequently, several imaging modalities have been developed and among them intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been of particular interest since …

Characterization of native and bypass human coronary artery plaque deposits from the same heart: investigation of the chemical form of calcium in human coronary artery plaque deposits
… In addition, the crystalline and the amorphous plaques within these native and bypass vessels were characterized. The techniques used to characterize the deposits included inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high performance liquid …

Novel positron emission tomography applications for imaging cardiovascular disease activity
… fluoride in PET/CT. Twenty-three patients with calcified plaques in the coronary arteries were included. We evaluated 34 coronary lesions using CTAC and RACTAC reconstructions. We demonstrated that respiratory-averaged and standard single-phase attenuation correction maps provide similar and …
