Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a main cause of morbidity and mortality. Standard imaging techniques such as CT scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, ECO-DOPPLER, and angiography are inneffective to detect atheromatous plaques in early stages of developement, when the lesions are most metabolically active and medical interventions could be beneficial. There is therefore a clinical need to develop a noninvasive method that could assess the presence and the extension of atherosclerotic disease in patients in monitoring treatment.
