Contrast enhanced ultrasound of carotid artery plaques
type: Dataset
description: The study sample collected between 2009-2013 consist of in vivo images and data analyses of asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid atherosclerotic plaques. Purpose: In vivo imaging of carotid plaque using contrast enhanced ultrasound. The aim is to quantify the vascularization of carotid plaques.

HEALTH
type: DefinedTerm
term code: Health

Atherosclerosis
type: DefinedTerm
description: A thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES that occurs with formation of ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUES within the ARTERIAL INTIMA.
term code: D050197

Immunohistochemistry
type: DefinedTerm
description: Histochemical localization of immunoreactive substances using labeled antibodies as reagents.
term code: D007150

Carotid Stenosis
type: DefinedTerm
description: Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp 822-3)

Plaque, Atherosclerotic
type: DefinedTerm
description: Lesions formed within the walls of ARTERIES associated with deposits of fat and other substances that accumulate in the lining of the artery wall.
