High-resolution radial artery intima-media thickness and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with suspected coronary artery disease – Comparison with common carotid artery intima-media thickness
Objective: The radial artery wall structure can be measured with non-invasive very high-resolution ultrasound with great feasibility and high accuracy. In the present study, we aim to explore clinical correlates of radial artery intima-media thickness …

Arteriovenous Fistulas for Hemodialysis: Application of High-Frequency US to Assess Vein Wall Morphology for Cannulation Readiness
To determine whether venous wall thickness and hoop (circumferential) stress, as determined with high-frequency ultrasonography (US), can predict cannulation readiness in arteriovenous fi stulas (AVFs). Materials and Methods: Institutional review board …

High-resolution ultrasound showing increased intima and media thickness of the radial artery in patients with end-stage renal disease
Objective: Although clinically relevant atherosclerosis of the upper limb arteries is rarely seen, intimal hyperplasia of the arteries may reflect global atherosclerosis and increased intima-media thickness of the brachial artery has been linked to an …

High-Frequency Ultrasound for Evaluation of Intimal Thickness
Background: The measurement of carotid intima–medial thickness is a well-validated measure of cardiovascular risk. Although atherosclerosis occurs in the intima, this arterial layer is not measured alone because of the limitation in ultrasound resolution …

Feasibility of very-high resolution ultrasound to assess elastic and muscular arterial wall morphology in adolescents attending an outpatient clinic for obesity and lipid abnormalities
Objective: Atherosclerosis begins during early life and is accelerated in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors. We hypothesized that very-high resolution ultrasound (VHRU, 25–55MHz) could feasibly detect early arterial changes in adolescents with …

Transcutaneous very-high-resolution ultrasound to quantify arterial wall layers of muscular and elastic arteries: Validation of a method
Background: High-resolution ultrasound (HRU) is used to measure carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). We postulated that very-high-resolution ultrasound (VHRU, 25–55 MHz) provides more detailed information on arterial morphology. Methods: Rabbit and pig …

Assessment of vascular phenotype using a novel very-high-resolution ultrasound technique in adolescents after aortic coarctation repair and/or stent implantation: relationship to central haemodynamics and left ventricular mass
Objectives Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) has been associated with abnormal vascular function, increased blood pressure (BP) and premature cardiovascular disease even after a successful intervention. The objective was to determine the severity of residual …

Journal of Hand Surgery ( European Volume )
Ultrasonography can be used in the diagnosis of various neuropathies, including nerve injury. Nerves often involved in traumatic and iatrogenic injury are small cutaneous branches in the hand and wrist, which cannot be seen in detail using current …
