play in the initiation of atherosclerosis. Examination of the diseased vascular wall have expanded the
repertoire of imaging modalities that can be used to characterize atherosclerotic lesion initiation and
progression, as well as other diseases of the wall, including cardiomyopathy and aneurysm formation.
Application of the recent advances in
in vivo
nonlinear optical imaging [4] holds promise to allow live,
three-dimensional, real-time imaging of normal and pathological processes in the arterial vascular bed
in the absence of motion artifacts.
