Aim The traditional morphological parameters for the description of a carotid atherosclerotic
plaque (degree of stenosis, echogenicity, systolic peak velocity etc.) are insufficient for the …

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly used to improve visualization of
carotid arteries. However, its reproducibility and utility for clinical research are not well …

B-mode and Doppler ultrasound are commonly used for the evaluation of atherosclerosis in
the carotid arteries. Recently, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been introduced as …

Purpose: To evaluate neovascularisation within carotid atherosclerotic plaques with contrast
enhanced ultrasound. Methods: We used contrast-enhanced ultrasound to examine 33 …

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. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound that is used to assess atherosclerotic carotid
plaques improves visualization of vessel wall irregularities and provides direct visualization …

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly being used to identify patients with
carotid plaques that are vulnerable to rupture, so-called vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques …

Purpose. To evaluate neovascularization within carotid atherosclerotic plaques with contrast‐
enhanced sonography. Methods. We used contrast‐enhanced sonography to examine 63 …

We sought to evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging for the quantification
of carotid plaque neovascularization. Seventeen patients underwent carotid endarterectomy …

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