Non-invasive tissue characterization system and method

摘要

One embodiment of the present system and method is directed to the identification of tissues within a vascular object by analyzing ultrasound data collected from the vascular object by non-invasive scans. By identifying and characterizing types of tissue from ultrasound data, an assessment can be made about the health condition of a patient without an invasive procedure. Other applications of the present system will also be appreciated including identifying other types of tissues.
