Abstract:
Carotid artery vulnerable plaque is prone to rupture and thrombosis,which is closely related to the occurrence of stroke.The detection of carotid plaque vulnerability is particularly important for early risk assessment of cerebrovascular disease.Carotid ultrasound is noninvasive,less expensive and with high reproducibility,therefore has become the important method for detecting the vulnerability of carotid artery plaque.The progresses of ultrasound technique for detection of carotid vulnerable plaque in recent years were reviewed in this article.
