MRI-based biomechanical imaging: initial study on early plaque progression and vessel remodeling Zheng J et al. - Maximal principle structure stress/stain were shown to correlate strongly with the change in the plaque dimension during regression, but moderately during progression. This MRI-based biomechanical imaging method may allow for noninvasive dynamic assessment of local hemodynamic forces on the development of atherosclerotic plaques in vivo. [more...]
