Popis: | Identifying plaque morphology and surface characteristics, especially for the carotid arteries, has proven important for revealing stroke pathogenesis. Imaging modalities that provide such information now exist and can monitor the progression of the diseased vessel, along with the effects of drugs on atherosclerotic plaque. This chapter summarizes the imaging tools to visualize and characterize vulnerable and stable atherosclerotic carotid plaque. |
