摘要
The standard of care for the initial diagnosis of carotid artery bifurcation diseases is carotid duplex ultrasound. Carotid abnormalities or difficult examinations may represent a diagnostic challenge in patients with clinical symptoms as well as in the follow-up after carotid endarterectomy, carotid artery stenting or other interventions. A promising new method in the diagnosis and follow-up of pathologic carotid diseases is contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). In comparison with magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, the contrast agents used for CEUS remain within the vascular space and hence can be used to study vascular disease and could provide additional information on carotid arterial diseases. This review describes the current carotid duplex ultrasound examination and compares the pathologic findings with CEUS. Semin Ultrasound CT MRI 34:204-212 (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
