Abstract  Cardio-cerebral vascular diseases are common and frequently occurring serious diseases that threaten humans.In recent years,Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) has played a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases.However,DSA is not able to visualize intravascular structures in real time,and it is especially difficult to evaluate each layer of the vascular wall and the composition of atherosclerotic plaques with DSA.Quantum correlated imaging is a new technique that can be used to perform real-time online imaging of intravascular flow,vascular wall structure,and atherosclerotic plaque composition.Quantum correlated imaging is a promising new technique that will soon be used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases.
