Imaging carotid atherosclerosis plaque ulceration: comparison of advanced imaging modalities and recent developments

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: X J. Yuan and colleagues from the proportions [49]Surgical observations have shown good correlation, with CTA having a high sensitivity (94%) and specificity (99%) to detect plaque ulceration [50]. Compared with sonography, CTA showed higher sensitivity and specificity to detect ulceration [38]. In comparison with DSA, CTA has fewer associated complications [38] while its accuracy in the determination of ulceration still needs more research for validation. One major limitation of CTA FIG, . A, Doppler sonography shows an internal carotid artery plaque ulceration (white arrow) in detecting ulceration is the appearance The asterisk shows weakly echogenic . . .
