颈动脉斑块的三维超声评价

Three-dimensional ultrasound evaluation of carotid plaques

作为筛查颈动脉斑块的新型技术,三维超声在临床及科研工作中发挥了重要作用。近年来的研究显示,三维超声结合各种新型算法可有效评估颈动脉斑块负荷及其易损性。三维超声存在容积探头成本高、体积大影响探测角度等问题,尚未在中国广泛使用。文章综述了三维超声在评估易损斑块及斑块负荷方面的优势,以期对今后的临床工作提供参考。

As a new technology for screening carotid plaques,three-dimensional ultrasound plays an important role in clinical and scientific research.Recent studies have shown that three-dimensional ultrasound combined with various new algorithms can effectively evaluate carotid plaque load and vulnerability.However,due to the high cost of volumetric probes and the large volume affecting the detection angle,three-dimensional ultrasound has not been widely used in China.This article reviews the advantages of three-dimensional ultrasound in evaluating vulnerable plaques and plaque load,in order to provide reference for clinical work in the future.
