Blood Flow Pattern Analysis for Carotid Plaque Evaluation

Blood Flow Pattern Analysis for Carotid Plaque Evaluation, Previous studies suggested that turbulent flow is closely related to plaque vulnerability. Two-dimensional (2D) flow analysis is a novel modality that enables real-time blood flow analysis by picturing particle movement in the contrast medium. We evaluated flow patterns in the carotid plaque to investigate the correlation between blood flow and plaque vulnerability., Previous studies suggested that turbulent flow is closely related to plaque vulnerability.
