颈动脉粥样硬化斑块的影像学检查不但有助于选择恰当的治疗方法,而且还可用于动脉粥样硬化发生和发展过程的研究。一种理想的检查方法除能提供管腔直径和狭窄程度等信息外,还应能准确反映斑块的构成成分和表面形态学特征。易损斑块的识别和分析是目前研究的热点。常用的检测方法包括超声、CT、MRI、CT血管造影、磁共振血管造影和数字减影血管造影等,后者是颈动脉病变影像学检查的金标准,但随着其他无创性影像学技术的发展,其地位日益受到挑战。 Carotid atherosclerotic plaque imaging not only helps to choose the appropriate treatment, but also for the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis research. An ideal method of examination can provide accurate information on the composition of the plaque and the morphology of the surface, in addition to providing information on lumen diameter and stenosis. The identification and analysis of vulnerable plaque is the hot point of current research. Commonly used detection methods include ultrasound, CT, MRI, CT angiography, magnetic resonance angiography and digital subtraction angiography, which is the gold standard for carotid lesion imaging, but with other noninvasive imaging techniques Its status is increasingly challenged.
