Mean gray scale values calculated from the fluorescent images of the three arterial layers in the treatment artery. Segment 2 represents the discrete area of ultrasound treatment while Segment 3 represents the area adjacent to this (within the same artery) which was untreated [X±SD; n=6 arterial pairs].
Mean Gray Scale Values (MGSV) | Segment 3 No Ultrasound |
Segment 2 With Ultrasound |

Intima | 36.2 ± 9.2 | 88.4 ± 27.3* |
Media | 12.8 ± 7.2† | 37.7 ± 16.3*† |
Adventitia | 23.6 ± 5.8 | 80.0 ± 17.9* |
