Functional and Morphologic Imaging of Coronary Atherosclerosis in Living Mice Using High-Resolution Color Doppler Echocardiography and Ultrasound Biomicroscopy

The CDE and UBM technique can be used to measure atherosclerosis-related lumen narrowing of the LCA in living mice. These non-invasive techniques may provide us with novel tools for following up disease status in mouse coronary arteries in a quantitative manner.
