ABSTRACT:
Method for diagnosis of the presence of atherosclerosis plaques. The method comprises injection of a hematoporphyrin which is selectively absorbed by atheromotous plaques. The hematoporphyrin is then subjected to light causing it to fluorese and the fluorescence is used to diagnose the presence of the plaques.
