The primary technique for detecting the presence and monitoring the development of carotid
atherosclerotic plaque is ultrasound. The development of ultrasound techniques has made it …

In this chapter, we review imaging of the extracranial carotid arteries and the indications for
noninvasive carotid artery evaluation, measuring the degree of arterial stenosis and plaque …

This book describes the development of quantitative techniques for ultrasound and
photoacoustic imaging in the assessment of architectural and vascular parameters. It …

Various methods were developed for the quantification of the degree of stenosis: B‐mode
imaging, CW Doppler with spectral analysis, PW‐duplex, and colorflow imaging. The degree …

Carotid ultrasonography has become the preferred imaging technique for screening patients
with suspected atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. The principles underlying duplex …

A variety of non-invasive techniques have been developed for the detection of extracranial
arterial disease (EAD) in recent years [1–7]. Some of them assess the hemodynamics of the …

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 …

Background: We have evaluated the efficacy of using three-dimensional reconstruction of
amplitude Doppler imaging data to quantitatively assess carotid artery bifurcation stenoses …

Carotid sonography has proved to be highly accurate in detecting and quantifying carotid
atherosclerosis. By far the most common indication for these examinations is for triage of …

Duplex sonography combines the ability to real time image the carotid artery and accurately
sample the vessel using pulsed Doppler. The flow information is presented graphically as …
