Plaque in the carotid artery is typically formed at the bifurcation in the neck, but in contrast to
most other vessels in the body, rather than the reduction in lumen diameter it is risk of …

Sixteen, carotid arteries in nine patients with transient ischaemic attacks and carotid bruits
were examined by direct scanning grey scale ultrasound using a 10 HMz probe attached to …

Determining the severity of carotid atherosclerotic stenosis has been an important step in
establishing patient management pathways and identifying patients who can benefit from …

The composition of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid artery is assumed to be related to
the development of neurological symptoms. The echo patterns produced by B-mode …

Ulcerations and intraplaque hemorrhages are thought to play an important role in the
development of neurological deficits in carotid artery stenoses. To assess the ability of …

Plaque composition may improve identification of patients at risk of stroke. A new method of
grading ultrasound (US) images to assess plaque composition is described. B-mode US …

Objectives The aim of the study is to assess the usefulness of novel tUS/tomographic 3D
ultrasound technology of carotid arteries. Materials In addition to the standard DUS …

Although ultrasonography is an important cost-effective imaging modality, technical
improvements are needed before its full potential is realized for accurate and reproducible …

This study compares sonographic and histologic findings within defined spatial regions in
carotid artery plaque, using computer generated three-dimensional reconstructions. Twenty …

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of the carotids has recently emerged as a
complementary examination to conventional carotid Doppler ultrasonography. It is an …
