The value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in assessing carotid plaque vulnerability and predicting stroke risk

Abstract The presence of vulnerable carotid plaques plays a critical role in ischemic stroke pathogenesis, with intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) serving as a key indicator of plaque instability. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) provides a comprehensive evaluation of both plaque surface morpho...
