Computerized quantitation of atherosclerosis in an experimental model. Arteriography and microdensitometry.
Model investigations for computerized quantitation of atherosclerotic plaques by a combination of arteriography and microdensitometry were performed. The correlation between real and densitometrically determined plaque volumes was high (r = 0.987) in examinations of randomly distributed plaques. The results indicate that this method can be useful in the clinical examination of patients with atherosclerosis.
