Advantages and pitfalls of three-dimensional ultrasound imaging of carotid bifurcation.
OBJECTIVES Several specialists use three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound as adjuvant imaging technique in their clinical practice. It has been applied to study carotid plaque morphology, surface and volume during atherosclerosis progression. Nonetheless, no papers have so far described the use of this technique in conditions different than carotid stenosis, such as bifurcation anatomy changes of th...
متن کاملUltrasound of the carotid and vertebral arteries.
Ultrasound plays an important role in the assessment of carotid arterial disease, complimentary to other imaging modalities. However, ultrasound does have limitations, not least the requirement of a high degree of operator skill. Recent advances in ultrasound technology will strengthen its role by improving accuracy. This review discusses the role of ultrasound in assessing the carotid arterial...

متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of intraplaque neovascularization in carotid arteries: correlation with histology and plaque echogenicity.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of carotid atherosclerosis as a clinical tool to study intraplaque neovascularization. BACKGROUND Plaque neovascularization is associated with plaque vulnerability and symptomatic disease; therefore, imaging of neovascularization in carotid atherosclerosis may represent a useful tool for clinical risk stratifi...
متن کاملTransthoracic echocardiographic imaging of coronary arteries: tips, traps, and pitfalls
The aim of this paper is to highlight coronary investigation by transthoracic Doppler evaluation. This application has recently been introduced into clinical practice and has received enthusiastic feedback in terms of coronary flow reserve evaluation on left anterior coronary artery disease diagnosis. Such diagnosis represents the most important clinical application but has in itself some limit...
