Ultrasonic tissue characterization (UTC) employing slope and Y-intercept parameters from the normalized power spectrum of backscattered echoes was employed in vivo to study compositional changes in the walls of pig jugular veins in which thrombi were experimentally induced. Light microscopy revealed these changes to be intimal hyperplasia with an early predominance of smooth muscle cells and a later mixture of smooth muscle cells and collagen deposits. UTC distinguished intimal hyperplasia from previously reported data from luminal thrombosis UTC. Furthermore, UTC was able to discriminate between early (predominantly smooth muscle cells) and older (smooth muscle cells plus collagen deposits) intimal hyperplasia. The study suggests that intimal hyperplasia in the experimental model used may be organized thrombus and that UTC may be able to follow both the development of wall changes as well as luminal changes occurring in venous thrombosis.
