The sentence referring to non-reflow says that it is visible during angioplasty. Should that be angiography?

Outline of Potential Changes

Hello, we are the student editors from the ECE584 class for this article. We would like to ask for some advice on our plan for making modifications to the article.

We plan on updating some of the references to a more reputable source rather than a website like reference one is.

Additionally, since we are in a medical imaging class, we plan to focus on modifying the "Detection" section. Our plan for this section is to add and introduce different imaging modalities that may not be on there. Thus, we will be working with the last two paragraphs of this section. We noticed that the last paragraph of the "Detection" is missing a reference, so plan on adding a reference or modifying this last paragraph for a different purpose.

When modifying this section, we want to focus on introducing invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities to detect vulnerable plaque. While some of the invasive imaging modalities are already listed, we would like to further expand on it to give more context in which they are used in.

Our initial references are below. We would like to know if these sources are reputable enough to fit Wikipedia's standards. This is our first time editing, so while the trainings give us a good idea, we would like more guidance in this aspect.
