Background Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of the carotid artery is a potential
technique for imaging plaque neovascularization, a feature of unstable atherosclerotic …

Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the carotid artery has potential as a
technique for imaging plaque neovascularization. This study examined whether CEUS could …

Purpose To determine whether carotid plaque neovascularization as assessed with contrast-
enhanced ultrasonography (US) can help predict future coronary events in patients with …

Objectives To examine the repeatability of quantitative time‐intensity curve analysis of
neovascularization within carotid plaques with contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography (US) …

Background Neovascularization is a marker of plaque vulnerability that can be assessed
noninvasively using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The presence and extent of …

Background Intraplaque neovascularization is considered an important indicator of plaque
vulnerability. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of carotid arteries improves imaging of …

An atherosclerotic plaque requires a nutrient blood supply, which is predominantly derived
from arterial vasa vasorum. A variety of factors (environmental and genetic) contribute to the …

OBJECTIVE: The incremental prognostic impact on cardiovascular outcomes of assessment
of carotid plaque ultrasound characteristics in addition to inflammatory biomarkers remains …

OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether combined ultrasound assessment of plaque
size and echolucency in the carotid artery had an additive effect for predicting coronary …

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of
carotid atherosclerosis as a clinical tool to study intraplaque neovascularization …
