TL;DR

Combined measurement of edge irregularity and variation in cross-sectional density provides an angiographic index indicative of local cholesterol concentration in aorta walls and atheromas.

Abstract

Raised aortic atheromas can be quantitated by densitometer-computer analysis of edge irregularity on angiographic shadows. Combined measurement of edge irregularity and variation in cross-sectional density provides an angiographic index indicative of local cholesterol concentration in aorta walls and atheromas.
