Abstract:
As a new technology for screening carotid plaques, three-dimensional ultrasound plays an important role in clinical and scientific research. Recent studies have shown that three-dimensional ultrasound combined with various new algorithms can effectively evaluate carotid plaque load and vulnerability. However, due to the high cost of volumetric probes and the large volume affecting the detection angle, three-dimensional ultrasound has not been widely used in China. This article reviews the advantages of three-dimensional ultrasound in evaluating vulnerable plaques and plaque load, in order to provide reference for clinical work in the future.
