Reproducibility validation study comparing analog and digital imaging technologies for the measurement of intima-media thickness / D. Baldassarre, E. Tremoli, M. Amato, F. Veglia, A. Bondioli, C.R. Sirtori. - In: STROKE. - ISSN 0039-2499. - 31:5(2000 May), pp. 1104-1110.
Abstract:
New advances in B-mode imaging technologies have led to improved quality in the detection of minute changes in the surface of intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaques. The new digital systems, with increased numbers of imaging channels, multiple frequency probes, and increased microprocessing speeds, now generate images comparable to those of the analog predecessors. Can these digital systems have reproducibility comparable to that of a pure analog system? We compared the Biosound 2000II (analog) system with the Esaote AU4 (digital) system.
