Circumferential strain in the wall of the common carotid artery: Comparing displacement-encoded and cine MRI in volunteers

The walls of conduit arteries undergo cyclic stretching from the periodic fluctuation of arterial pressure. Atherosclerotic lesions have been shown to localize to regions of excessive stretching of the arterial wall. We employed a displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) sequence to imag...
