Abstract:
Extracranial carotid athcrosclcrosis is the major cause of ischcmic stroke.The intumescence of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in meries results in lumen stenosis or detachment of plaque organisms.causing the distal vascular embolization,and thus resulting in a reduced cerebral blood supply and cerebral ischemic event.The volume data acquisition of multislice spiral CT angiography can provide high-quality two-dimensional and three-dimensional images,its imaging technique has become a very effective detection tool for carotid atherosclerosis.This article reviews the diagnosis application of multislice spiral CT angiograohy of carotid atherosclerosis and its pitfalls.
