Electrocardiographically Gated Intravascular Image Segmentation Enables More Reproducible Volumetric Analysis of Atheroma Burden

ED IVUS segmentation enables more reproducible volumetric analysis and quantification of TAV and PAV that are established end points in longitudinal studies assessing the efficacy of novel pharmacotherapies. Therefore, it should be preferred over conventional IVUS analysis as its higher reproducibility is expected to have an impact on the sample size calculation for the primary end point.
