颈动脉斑块(CP)是动脉粥样硬化的早期体征,作为影响血管疾病危险因素的一项敏感指标备受关注。近年来,CP的研究热点主要集中于易损斑块的定性、定量分析。对斑块在发生、发展过程中的准确诊断是临床的焦点问题。现就超声诊断、CT血管造影、磁共振血管成像等手段检测CP的部位、大小、成分、稳定性等方面的应用与发展进行综述。 Carotid plaque (CP) is an early sign of atherosclerosis, which is a sensitive indicator of risk factors for vascular disease. In recent years, CP research focuses on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of vulnerable plaque. The plaque in the occurrence and development of accurate diagnosis is the clinical focus. Now on ultrasound diagnosis, CT angiography, magnetic resonance imaging and other means of detection of CP site, size, composition, stability and other aspects of the application and development are reviewed.
