Abstract
Intravascular, real-time, high resolution echography is an exciting new development. It produces circumferential images of the artery of interest and allows measurement of lumen dimensions, wall thickness and extent of atherosclerotic disease. This unique diagnostic potential can be used to characterise and quantify the degree of atherosclerotic disease, to grade the effect of pharmacologic intervention and to guide angioplasty procedures and evaluate their effects.
