Purpose Ultrasonographic contrast enhancement of carotid plaque (CECP) has been used
to detect neovascularization of vasa vasorum and plaque. However, it is uncertain whether …

Background and Aim Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can reliably identify vulnerable
plaques. As atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, we evaluated whether contrast …

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

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 …

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

Aim: The relationship between carotid artery ultrasound findings and clinical outcomes in
patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been completely …

Background It is thought that the progression of vulnerable plaque is due in part to
neovascularization, and plaque vulnerability is a useful approach for classifying …

Background Carotid arterial ultrasound examination may be helpful for screening
populations at high risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), so the present study was …

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