Anyone who can measure IMT can measure carotid plaque, so it seems logical to measure both parameters whenever either is evaluated. Cite this: Technology Insight: Ultrasound Measurement of Carotid ...

In this way, every patient with a stroke due to carotid artery narrowing can receive a tailor-made risk-based treatment. That saves many patients a major operation and lowers health care costs.

A risky carotid artery operation, currently still the standard treatment for many patients, may then no longer be necessary for this group of patients. This research, published today in the Lancet ...

Subsequently, the dissection and extraction of the carotid artery were carried out, and within a period not exceeding 24 h, the corresponding biomechanical tests were performed. All animal procedures ...

Abstract: Accurate measurement of carotid plaques in ultrasound images is essential for the early preventionand intervention of stroke. However, carotid plaques exhibit complex and diverse shapes, ...

A new study from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto has shown that high-resolution ultrasound is as effective as an MRI in detecting prostate cancer, potentially leading ...

A pioneering study presented today at ESCMID Global 2025 has demonstrated that an AI-powered lung ultrasound outperforms human experts by 9% in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The ULTR-AI ...

A woman has gone viral for showing off the incredible amount of hair that her son was born with—and revealed the ultrasound gave no prior warning. Naya "J'chelle" Perry, 26, a nursing student ...

Patient demographics (age, sex) were recorded. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, location of dissection (carotid or vertebral), and concomitant intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular ...
