Few longitudinal studies have exploited the various strengths of carotid MRI. Valuable lessons regarding feasibility of monitoring individual response to therapy can be derived from studies that ...

Carotid MRI is a powerful tool for studying atherosclerotic disease in vivo. The studies reviewed herein support carotid MRI for following individual response to therapy under specific conditions.

Carotid artery disease, also called carotid artery stenosis, occurs when the carotid arteries, the main blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the brain, become narrowed. The narrowing of the ...

Based on the 45.8% of patients who underwent brain MRI before and 1 day after carotid endarterectomy, all ischemic lesions after surgery were ipsilateral to the intervened internal carotid artery.

What is carotid artery dis­ease ... It works the same way that MRI tests work. Be­fore having MRA, most people get an injection of a dye that makes the arteries show up more clearly.

The researchers found that the results favored sonolysis for the primary end point (2.2 versus 7.6%) and in the substudy for magnetic resonance imaging-detected new ischemic lesions (8.5 versus 17 ...

For patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, sonolysis is safe and results in a significant reduction in cerebrovascular events and death within 30 days.
