Abstract:
Objective To study histological characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque in carotid and femoral arteries with acoustic densitometry (AD) technique.Methods The carotid and femoral arteries were examined in 65 patients by ultrasound AD technique with average image intensity ratio (AIIr) as the statistical index.Results The AIIr values of intima correlated well with the arterial stiffness ?(r= 0.75 ,P
