Objective Plaque elasticity and intraplaque neovascularisation are strongly suggestive of
vulnerable plaque. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between intraplaque …

Background and Purpose—Neovascularization associated with plaque vulnerability,
particularly in the plaque shoulder, is susceptible to rupture, causing ischemic events. We …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this research is to develop a computerized method to quantify
carotid plaque neovascularization on contrast-enhanced ultrasound images and to compare …

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

A significant portion of ischemic stroke is on account of emboli caused by fibrous cap rupture
of vulnerable plaque with intraplaque neovascularization as a significant triggering factor to …

It is valuable for evaluation of carotid plaque vulnerability to investigate the relation between
intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) and plaque elasticity. The contrast-enhanced …

Background Advanced carotid ultrasound techniques may be useful in characterizing
plaque vulnerability, but comprehensive studies are still lacking. The aim of this study was to …

Objective/Background To evaluate whether carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) can
be accurately assessed by two types of quantitative analysis on contrast enhanced …

OBJECTIVES: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) has been used to assess the
vascularisation of carotid plaques. Our aim was to develop and validate a standardised semi …

Objectives Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been suggested as an imaging tool
for detection of asymptomatic carotid atherosclerotic disease (ACAD) at high risk of cerebral …
