carotid ultrasonography

Sažetak
Carotid ultrasonography is routinely used for the estimation of atherosclerosis burden through carotid stenosis estimation, plaque morphology and volume, and measuring intima-media thickness which (useful biomarker for atherosclerosis). Carotid ultrasonography is also useful for assessment of non- atherosclerotic diseases such as cervical artery dissection and arteritis. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is a tool for evaluation of intracranial circulation, mostly for collateral circulation assessment, intracranial stenosis and emboli detection, and cerebral vasomotor reactivity. The management of carotid artery disease is mostly based on the severity of the disease (percent stenosis) and clinical presentation (asymptomatic vs symptomatic).
