Popis:	Objective: Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is ultimately a biomechanical event. We aim to develop and validate a novel method using ultrasound radiofrequency (RF) measurements to determine intraplaque inhomogeneities in the strain distribution with a high axial resolution which may identify rupture-prone plaques. Methods: Ultrasound examinations were performed on CCAs and ICAs of 17 patients with recent stroke/TIA and 5 asymptomatic patients (39 CCAs and ICAs). Strain distribution was computed from RF data with a depth resolution
