Abstract
Selective angiographic assessment of arterial lesion size can be the endpoint variable for clinical trials of medical therapy for atherosclerosis. Measurement methods less invasive than selective angiography are under development by several research groups. This paper compares and contrasts the capabilities of selective angiography with two less invasive arterial plaque imaging methods, venous injection angiography and ultrasound carotid artery imaging.
