Abstract

Biomechanical factors have been considered to be important triggers in plaque rupture. Plaque stress analysis has been used for providing critical information in assessing rupture risk for specific plaques. The research combined plaque MR imaging, computational modeling, on plaque stress analysis presented in this chapter will advance our understandings of plaque rupture, and may establish new procedures for patient diagnose, management, and treatment in the future.
