Understanding why and how plaque develops and ruptures requires a multi-disciplinary approach such as radiology, biomedical engineering, medical physics, software engineering, hardware engineering, pathological and histological imaging. Multi-Modality Atherosclerosis Imaging, Diagnosis and Treatment presents a new dimension of understanding Atherosclerosis in 2D and 3D. This book presents work on plaque stress analysis in order to provide a general framework of computational modeling with atherosclerosis plaques. New algorithms based on 3D and 4D Ultrasound are presented to assess the atherosclerotic disease as well as very recent advances in plaque multimodality image fusion analysis. The goal of Multi-Modality Atherosclerosis Imaging, Diagnosis and Treatment is to fuse information obtained from different 3D medical image modalities, such as 3D US, CT and MRI, providing the medical doctor with some sort of augmented reality information about the atherosclerotic plaque in order to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis. Analysis of the plaque dynamics along the cardiac cycle is also a valuable indicator for plaque instability assessment and therefore for risk stratification. 4D Ultrasound, a sequence of 3D reconstructions of the region of interest along the time, can be used for this dynamic analysis. Multimodality Image Fusion is a very appealing approach because it puts together the best characteristics of each modality, such as, the high temporal resolution of US and the high spatial resolutions of MRI and CT. 000695454 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 16, 2013). 000695454 650_0 $$aAtherosclerosis$$xImaging. 000695454 650_0 $$aAtherosclerosis$$xDiagnosis. 000695454 7001_ $$aSaba, Luca,$$eeditor of compilation. 000695454 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695454 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-7425-8$$zOnline Access 000695454 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695454$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695454 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695454 980__ $$aBIB 000695454 982__ $$aEbook 000695454 983__ $$aOnline 000695454 994__ $$a92$$bISE
