purpose of this study was to evaluate the role and the diagnostic efficacy of multidetector row …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carotid plaque ulceration is an important risk factor for
stroke, and its diagnosis may be very important to plan a correct therapeutic approach. We …

Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of color Doppler imaging (CDI) and contrast-
enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for diagnosing carotid ulceration, having multi-detector …

angiography–assessed carotid artery plaque volume and composition and the presence of …

Background and Purpose—The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of CT
angiography for the characterization of plaque morphology and composition in carotid …

Carotid atherosclerotic disease constitutes a major modern health problem whose diagnosis
primarily relies on imaging. Grading of stenosis has been long used as the main factor for …

INTRODUCTION: Indication to carotid revascularisation is commonly determined by percent
of stenosis as well as neurological symptoms and clinical conditions. High plaque embolic …

AIM: To evaluate the association between types of carotid plaque, the presence of prior
ischaemic events detectable with CT, and patient's symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The identification of plaque characteristics that determine
its vulnerability is extremely important. The purpose of this work was to evaluate CPE after …

CT angiography (CTA) shows high sensitivity in detecting calcified plaques, but sometimes a
bias in the exact quantification of stenosis degree occurs, mainly caused by the high linear …
