The presence of carotid arterial plaque by ultrasound enhances cardiovascular risk
stratification beyond traditional risk factors. However, plaque quantification techniques …

Background: Computerized assessment of plaque echogenicity by B-mode ultrasonography
has demonstrated that the gray-scale median (GSM) pixel intensity of the entire plaque …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was to analyze the association
between morphological characteristics of human carotid plaques and patient's sex, age, and …

Object Identification of the risk of rupture and vulnerability of arterial plaque is not yet clearly
understood. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical features of the motion of …

OBJECTIVE:: To relate the histological composition of carotid artery plaques with
morphology as evaluated by B-mode ultrasound. DESIGN:: Prospective study. MATERIAL …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to determine the association between objective,
computerised texture analysis of carotid plaque ultrasonic images and embolic CT-brain …

Objective/Background On ultrasound, potentially “high risk” carotid plaques may appear
echolucent. In this study, whether a confident classification of echolucent plaque was a …

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

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the size of a juxtaluminal black (hypoechoic) area
(JBA) in ultrasound images of asymptomatic carotid artery plaques predicts future ipsilateral …

Objective To determine the relative effect of carotid plaque heterogeneity and echogenicity
as measured by computer on the incidence of ipsilateral cerebral infarction and symptoms of …
