| dc.description.abstract | In the Tromsø study, we have successfully used high resolution ultrasonography for assessing atherosclerosis
development in a general population. The method is well suited for large epidemiological surveys.
Methodological problems could be overcome by using highly standardized protocols, pre-study training of
sonographers and readers, and off-line computer-based batch reading of digitized images. The Tromsø
study has added new and important knowledge in the field of carotid atherosclerosis regarding prevalence,
sex differences, risk factors and clinical significance. | en |
