Stroke is the third leading cause of death and carotid atherosclerosis is the leading cause of embolic stroke.
In recent years, the need for a more detailed analysis of
atherosclerotic plaques has been stressed. Information beyond the
degree of narrowing of the vessel lumen seems to be desirable and there
is considerable demand for diagnostic procedures that specifically
identify rupture-prone, vulnerable plaques as the most frequent cause
of sudden ischemic events. This atlas is an up-to-date reference work
on imaging in carotid
artery stenosis written by internationally renewed experts. The authors
take the reader step by step through illustrated descriptions of
state-of-the-art imaging techniques that they have helped to develop,
and demonstrate that these techniques are crucial in the management of
patients. This book covers all facets of imaging in carotid
artery stenosis and gives an outlook to future aspects. The
"take-home-messages" at the end of each chapter are a quick help in
daily practice.
