To explore the value of RF-data-based quantitative analysis on vessel stiffness (R-QVS) combined with dynamic vector flow imaging (VFI) in evaluating structural and functional changes in the carotid arteries of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A prospective study was conducted between...
