Abstract: Atherosclerosis is a complex syndrome characterized by plaques build up on the inner lining of coronary arteries, which is the leading cause of morbidity in developed countries. Diagnosis of atherosclerotic lesions relies on medical imaging techniques significantly.
The clinically approved Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) imaging normally operated at 20~40 MHz range, provides resolution no better than 100 μm, which is insufficient for detection of some critical microstructures (More Information: Seminar-Zhou.doc
