Two-dimensional vessel wall diffusion anisotropy of human carotids – A novel measure of vascular ageing?
Two-dimensional vessel wall DTI of human carotids is feasible for clinical research. Besides patient age, we identified Sex, BMI, or the presence of cardiovascular disease as relevant factors for carotid vessel wall diffusivity. Decreased FA values might indicate early-stage atherosclerosis and vascular ageing.
