Figure 2 Corrected integrated backscatter (IB) values of various tissue types. In each of the ex vivo and in vivo studies, the corrected IB values from calcification (CL), mixed lesion (ML), fibrosis (FI), thrombus (TH) and lipid pool (LP), intimal hyperplasia (IH) or media show significant differences from each other. However, there are no significant differences among LP, IH and media. dB = decibels.
