The multidisciplinary approach combining angiography, high-resolution ultrasound, thrombolytic therapy, plaque pathology, histochemistry, coagulation studies, and more recently molecular biology has led to the realization that carotid plaque rupture is a key mechanism underlying the development of cerebrovascular events.1–3
The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is a well-known indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this study was to investigate the application of texture analysis of the medial layer (ML) of the CCA, and how texture features vary between the left and right carotid sides, as well as how these are affected by CVD. The study was performed on 200 longitudinal-section...
The aim was to determine the diagnostic value of a juxtaluminal black (hypoechoic) area without a visible echogenic cap (JBA) in ultrasonic images of internal carotid artery plaques.Ultrasonic images of plaques from 324 patients with asymptomatic (n = 139) and symptomatic (n = 185) internal carotid 50% to 99% stenosis in relation to the bulb (European Carotid Surgery Trial) referred for duplex scanning...
