The Approche intégrative oncologique (Aion) offers comprehensive and alternative medical care to support patients in an active dimension of the disease.

Short-term evaluation of plaque area measurement reproducibility from computer-assisted sonography.

One reason why quantifying plaque regression is difficult is the poor spatial control of the shooting angle whether in angiography or ultrasonography techniques. A computer-assisted technique has been developed to assess absolute carotid plaque dimensions from B-mode ultrasonography, with enhanced capability of comparative examinations at large time intervals. Plaque area is measured from arterial lumen to adventitia with a real-time tissular detection program.
