Abstract:
The carotid plaque (CP) detachment can induce thrombosis, which may lead to cerebral vascular disease. In recent years,research of CP is mainly focused on qualitative and quantitative analysis of vulnerable plaque. Therefore, it is important to choose therapeutic method and opportunity according to the structure and stability of the plaque. This article reviews the progress in the diagnosis of plaque from the aspects of common ultrasound, contrast enhanced ultrasound, ultrasound real-time tissue elastography, intravascular unltrasound, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), comuted tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Common and all kinds of new ultrasonic technology can be used to evaluate the vulnerability of CP from different aspects.
