Abstract

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 image the motion of the common carotid artery wall and map the two‐dimensional (2D) circumferential strain. The sequence utilizes a fully‐balanced steady‐state free‐precession (SSFP) readout with 0.60 mm in‐plane resolution. Preliminary results in volunteers at 1.5T (N = 4) and 3.0T (N = 17) are compared to measurements of the lumen circumference from cine images. The agreement between the two independent measurements at both field strengths (P ≤ 0.001) supports the use of DENSE as a means to map the pulsatile strain in the carotid artery wall.

## Abstract Artery wall motion and strain play important roles in vascular remodeling and may be important in the pathogenesis of vascular disease. In vivo observations of circumferentially nonuniform wall motion in the human aorta suggest that nonuniform strain may contribute to the localization o

In the chicken, glomus cells are widely distributed in the carotid body and in the wall of the common carotid artery and around its branches. The cells located in the wall of the common carotid artery express intense immunoreactivity for neuropeptide Y (NPY). They contain abundant dense-cored vesicl
