In a
novel advancement of radiological
technology, Brazilian researchers have created a product that takes fetal MRI and
ultrasound data and transform them into a three - dimensional representation of what a fetus is experiencing.
Novel 3D vascular
ultrasound imaging
technology allowed researchers to quantify the amount of carotid artery plaque burden lining each patient's carotid arteries in their neck, while a coronary artery calcium score CT scan allowed for the identification of any narrowing or hardening of the coronary arteries due to the buildup of fatty cholesterol and calcified plaque.
