Abstract

Contrast Enhanced Carotid Ultrasonography (CCU) is capable of detecting angiogenesis within the carotid plaque as a potential index of plaque vulnerability. However, due to a lack of standard of examination technique and documentation, results are not sufficiently, reliably comparable.

To improve this situation and in order to support wide acceptance of this promising technique, experts in this field met in the Consensus conference in May 22, 2011, held during the 16th ESNCH Meeting (20–23 May 2011) in Munich, Germany, to discuss the limitations and problems and to determine guidelines for its proper use in scientific investigations and clinical practice.

The main results of this conference are presented here. The discussion is still in progress and individual conclusions may not reflect the opinion of all participants. It aims to provide a basis for a later comprehensive consensus statement.

对比增强颈动脉超声识别斑块血管生成:第16届ESNCH会议共识声明，慕尼黑，2011年5月20-23日

对比增强颈动脉超声(CCU)能够检测颈动脉斑块内的血管生成，作为斑块易损性的潜在指标。然而，由于缺乏标准的检查技术和文件，结果不充分，可靠的可比性。为了改善这种情况，为了支持这项有前途的技术的广泛接受，该领域的专家于2011年5月22日在德国慕尼黑举行的第16届ESNCH会议(2011年5月20日至23日)期间召开了共识会议，讨论其局限性和问题，并确定其在科学研究和临床实践中的正确使用指南。本次会议的主要成果在此介绍。讨论仍在进行中，个别结论可能无法反映所有参与者的意见。它的目的是为以后的全面协商一致声明提供基础。
