Carotid plaque features assessed using B-mode ultrasound can be useful for the prediction
of cerebrovascular symptoms. Therefore, the aim of this retrospective study was to determine …

Background: Ultrasound is the most commonly used imaging modality for assessing carotid
artery stenosis. A number of studies have demonstrated that surface irregularities …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our hypothesis was that symptomatic and asymptomatic
carotid plaques are different. The aim of this study was to identify the sonographic tissue and …

Objective. The role of vascular risk factors in atherosclerosis development is well
established, whereas risk factors involved in determining plaque vulnerability are still a …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Studies evaluating the association between carotid
plaque composition and occurrence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease reveal …

Background and Purpose—Several studies have reported on the correlation of ultrasonic
carotid plaque morphology, cerebrovascular symptoms, and intraplaque hemorrhage. This …

AIM: Beside the degree of stenosis, plaque morphology obtained by the B mode ultrasound
technique has been considered to define the plaque at risk for cerebrovascular events, and …

Objective‐Ultrasonographic assessment of carotid artery plaque morphology is widely used
to identify patients at high risk for stroke. However, the reliability of plaque analysis in high …

Background and Purpose Ultrasonography is increasingly used in vascular research, but
there is limited information about the reproducibility of the ultrasound method for screening …

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 …
