Rörelsedetektering av halspulsådern med ultraljudsbilder i 4D I denna studie har ett första försök till att mäta rörelsen i blodkärlsväggen hos halspulsådern med fyrdimensionella ultraljudsbilder gjorts. Mätningar av rörelsen i blodkärlsväggarna kan ge värdefull information om eventuella hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är orsaken till 30 % av världens alla dödsfall. År 2030 fThe leading cause of death in the world is cardiovascular diseases.
