Current status and advances in ultrasound evaluation of neovascularization within carotid artery plaques: a systematic review.
Vulnerable plaques are significant risk factors for acute ischemic events, and intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is an important indicator for evaluating plaque vulnerability. This review summarizes the importance of IPN in the assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability, the current status of ultrasound examination of IPN, and the technical advancements in ultrasound imaging of IPN, These techniques include: Superb micro-vascular imaging; Contrast-enhanced ultrasound; Plane wave ultra-sensitive blood flow imaging; Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction; Ultrasound Super-Resolution Imaging. Aiming to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
期刊介绍:
Cardiovascular Ultrasound is an online journal, publishing peer-reviewed: original research; authoritative reviews; case reports on challenging and/or unusual diagnostic aspects; and expert opinions on new techniques and technologies. We are particularly interested in articles that include relevant images or video files, which provide an additional dimension to published articles and enhance understanding.
As an open access journal, Cardiovascular Ultrasound ensures high visibility for authors in addition to providing an up-to-date and freely available resource for the community. The journal welcomes discussion, and provides a forum for publishing opinion and debate ranging from biology to engineering to clinical echocardiography, with both speed and versatility.
