Standardization of carotid ultrasound.
Standardization of Carotid Ultrasound To the Editor: The article by Ranke et al1 in the February issue of Stroke represents an excellent advancement in Doppler grading of carotid artery stenosis. Since many surgeons now depend on Doppler ultrasound for decisions for carotid endarterectomy because of the costs and dangers of angiography and the cost and resolution problems of magnetic resonance ...
متن کاملStandardization of carotid ultrasound: a hemodynamic method to normalize for interindividual and interequipment variability.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Accurate carotid Doppler examination is an important issue in the light of large endarterectomy trials, but recommended cutoff values for detection of >70% stenosis vary widely. Standardization of diagnostic criteria should consider patient variation and instrument variability. METHODS We prospectively analyzed various Doppler parameters in 44 patients undergoing caroti...
متن کاملCarotid ultrasound.
Carotid duplex ultrasonography is a noninvasive technique for hemodynamically significant stenosis detection and cardiovascular risk estimation. Anatomic information of carotid arteries is provided by B-mode scanning. Hemodynamic features are displayed color-flow and pulsed Doppler imaging. Examination technique, normal carotid anatomy and flow pattern, and potential limitations are presented.
متن کاملCarotid ultrasound.
This article provides an overview of basic diagnostic carotid ultrasound applications, and emphasizes practical aspects of this examination. Areas currently being investigated include carotid plaque characterization and applications relative to IMT measurements. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging also offers promise to improve plaque characterization, which in turn may link these evaluations ...
متن کاملCarotid doppler ultrasound evaluation in patients with lichen planus
Background: Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with an increased risk of subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate patients with lichen planus using carotid Doppler ultrasound parameters.Methods: Forty patients with lichen planus and 40 controls were included in this study. Common carotid...
