Correlative clinicopathologic reports of atherosclerosis pose exact questions with admire to either luminal and plaque features which are addressed during this quantity. An outdated observa­ tion, in accordance with the exam of arterial casts, advised that the so-called nodose lesion of atherosclerosis could be firstly flattened into the wall of a weakened, dilated artery, instead of raised into the lumen. this can be now totally proven in vivo by means of ultrasonic and different imaging thoughts. The morbid anatomist is challenged anew to explain lesions as they're prone to ensue in vivo. to accomplish nearer correlation with average stipulations, perfu­ sion fixation of arteries below arterial strain is changing into extra time-honored and has already validated extra legitimate quantita­ tion of the composition and configuration of lesions. whereas the noninvasive tools of B-mode and Doppler ultrasound are appropriate just for the medical examine of superficial arteries, similar to the carotid or femoral, the hot and comparatively noninvasive method of intravenous electronic subtraction angio­ graphy should be successfully used for the exam of deep structures, resembling cerebral vessels.
