Towards Preventive Healthcare
During the ECR 2010 Advanced Symposium "Diagnosis and Therapy in Ultrasound: What's next?", Dr. Koen Reesink - Post-Doc Researcher in the Department of Biomedical Engineering/Biophysics at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM) - presents the technical background of the RF-Based vascular ultrasound system capable of an accurate and reproducible measurements of arterial wall thickness and stiffness. He focuses on the clinical advantages of such technical development in terms of a real-time examination and the potential of more precise risk stratification.
