Abstract

The importance of atherosclerotic disease in coronary artery has been a subject of study for many researchers in the past decade. In brief, the aim is to understand progression of such a disease, detect plaques at risks (vulnerable plaques), and treat them selectively to prevent mortality and immobility. Consequently, several imaging modalities have been developed and among them intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been of particular interest since it provides useful information about tissues microstructures and images with sufficient penetration as well as resolution.
