颈动脉粥样硬化易损斑块影像学诊断研究进展

缺血性脑卒中具有较高的发病率、致残率、死亡率及高复发率,颈动脉易损斑块是其主要原因。因此早期正确诊断易损斑块,对于急性脑卒中的防治具有重大意义。该文从超声、CT、MRI、脑血管造影等方面对易损斑块的诊断进展进行综述。

Advance in imaging diagnosis of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque of carotid artery

Cerebral ischemic stroke has high incidence rate,morbidity,mortality,and high recurrence rate. The vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque of carotid artery is the main factor that influence ischemic stroke.So it is great significant to early identifying carotid vulnerable plaque for acute stroke prevention.This article reviews the progress in the diagnosis of vulnerable plaque from the aspects of ultrasound,CT angiography,MRI,digital substraction angiography and molecular imaging.
