Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and detection of carotid plaque neovascularization.
A 62-year-old man was admitted after recurrent transient left-sided weakness and sensory loss. Ultrasound (US) examination revealed a 70% narrowing of the right proximal internal carotid artery (ICA). Contrast-enhanced US suggested plaque neovascularization (figure, A). Carotid endarterectomy of the right ICA was performed. Immunohistochemistry of the specimen showed, corresponding to the US fi...
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 کاملContrast ultrasound imaging of the carotid artery vasa vasorum and atherosclerotic plaque neovascularization.
Cardiovascular disease is associated with the aging of the population, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Therefore, it is important to develop non-invasive imaging systems to detect "at-risk" populations. New data suggest that contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CU) imaging of the carotid arteries enhances luminal irregularities (i.e., ulcers and plaques), improves near-wall, carotid intima-...
متن کاملVasa vasorum and plaque neovascularization on contrast-enhanced carotid ultrasound imaging correlates with cardiovascular disease and past cardiovascular events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Histological data associate proliferation of adventitial vasa vasorum and intraplaque neovascularization with vulnerable plaques represented by symptomatic vascular disease. In this observational study, the presence of carotid intraplaque neovascularization and adventitial vasa vasorum were correlated with the presence and occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and ev...
متن کاملReal-time Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound Parametric Imaging in Prostate
Introduction Lesion detection and characterization for cancer diagnosis in e.g. liver, breast or prostate has become an important field of application in contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging. In prostate, for example, systematic biopsy, currently still the “gold standard” for prostate cancer diagnosis, misses approximately 30% of cancers [1]. Even new biopsy strategies, such as increasing the n...
