Imaging of the carotid arteries with ultrasound is a mature eld that continues to grow and
expand at a steady pace both due to technological improvements and newer imaging …

Ultrasonography (US) of the carotid arteries is a common imaging study performed for
diagnosis of carotid artery disease. In the United States, carotid US may be the only …

This chapter was intended to provide an overview of ultrasound duplex scanning at the
human carotid bifurcation. Although results of clinical studies are useful in patient …

Echo-Doppler analysis is a fundamental medical tool for the evaluation of the presence of
atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid artery (Carpenter et al, 1995), since it may show the …

The ultrasound evaluation of carotid artery atherosclerosis has evolved over the years. At
the start, B-mode (gray-scale) images were used to evaluate the severity of carotid artery …

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 …

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 …

A real-time ultrasonic imaging system for the noninvasive assessment of atherosclerotic
vascular disease has been developed. This instrument displays cross-sectional images of …

Advancements in technology have brought noninvasive diagnosis of cerebrovascular
disease to a high level of accuracy in a relatively short period of time. Conventional duplex …

Carotid imaging techniques have become an increasingly popular part of the noninvasive
cerebrovascular evaluation. Doppler ultrasound imaging diagrammatically recreates the …
