Figure Lengend Snippet: Internal diameter ( A ), intima-media thickness (IMT) ( B ), and longitudinal displacement ( C ), before (left side) and after (right side) radiotherapy are plotted.
Article Snippet: Internal diameter, IMT, and longitudinal displacement of the common carotid artery were measured offline using two algorithms designed in MATLAB software (7.10.0.499, MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA) that allowed a quantitative assessment of the time rate changes from consecutive images.
