Abstract
This article provides an overview of basic diagnostic carotid ultrasound applications, and emphasizes practical aspects of this examination. Areas currently being investigated include carotid plaque characterization and applications relative to IMT measurements. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging also offers promise to improve plaque characterization, which in turn may link these evaluations to outcome studies.Mesh:
