How Is A CIMT Test Performed? A carotid intima-media thickness test uses an ultrasound to create images of your carotid artery. Your doctor will take several measurements of your carotid arteries on each side of your neck. You don’t have to do anything special to prepare for a CIMT test...
An ultrasound, CT angiography, or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may show narrowing in your carotid arteries. Contrast liquid is injected into an artery in your leg or arm to help the carotid arteries show up better in the pictures. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an...
You may have build-up in the arteries of your heart. This is called coronary artery disease. You may also have it in the ones that go to your kidneys. This is known as renal artery disease. This can also happen in the carotid arteries, which carry blood to the brain, leading to a ...
A carotid ultrasound may show narrow or blocked carotid arteries. The carotid arteries are blood vessels in your neck that carry blood to your brain. How is a stroke treated?Treatment depends on the type of stroke you had:Medicines may be given to prevent blood clots, break up clots, or ...
Carotid artery disease is a well-established cause of cerebrovascular events. This risk is predicted by the severity of stenosis and other plaque characteristics that can be documented using imaging techniques. Among these techniques, ultrasound is the most widely available. Increased carotid intima-...
Methods: Data was prospectively recorded for all patients who had carotid endarterectomy between 1997 and 2006 in our vascular surgical unit. These patients had follow-up with carotid duplex ultrasound to assess the patency of the internal and external carotid artery. The data were retrieved and eva...

The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the rating of low flow color duplex echography as a new technique in the preoperative staging of head and neck cancer. Forty-four patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, oropharynx, and hypopharynx were examined. Gray scale imag...
M Cassin,A Quinton 摘要: Introduction Stenosis of the internal carotid arteries (ICAs) increases the risk of stroke. ICA stenosis is routinely assessed with Doppler ultrasound. The current need for diagnostic imaging accuracy and unity is invaluable. Limits are in place to complete ultrasound ...
Injury to the carotid artery Tumors on or near the brainstem or in other areas may also cause Horner’s syndrome. A childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, is a common cause of Horner’s syndrome in young children, so it is important to rule out this type of tumor or begin treatment quickly if...
