摘要
颈动脉粥样硬化是缺血性卒中的可治疗和可预防病因。起来越多的研究提示，与颈动脉狭窄程度相比，颈动脉斑块特征可能是更理想的同侧脑血管事件预测方法。颈动脉易损斑块的主要MRI特征包括大的富含脂质的坏死核心、斑块内出血、斑块破裂和钙化。文章对颈动脉易损斑块的MRI特征及其在同侧脑血管事件预测中的作用进行综述。
Carotid artery atherosclerosis is a treatable and preventable cause of ischemic stroke. Increasing studies suggest that carotid plaque characteristics may be a superior means for predicting ipsilateral cerebrovascular events as compared with the degree of carotid artery stenosis. The major MRI features of vulnerable carotid plaques include large lipid-rich necrotic cores, intraplaque hemorrhage, plaque rupture, and calcification. This article reviews the major MRI features of vulnerable carotid plaques and their roles in predicting ipsilateral cerebrovascular events.
