Zusammenfassung

Purpose: Duplexsonography of internal and common carotid artery (ICA and CCA) is routinely performed in diagnosis of stroke, as about 20% of ischaemic strokes are caused by large-artery atherosclerosis. Here, we introduce a new method of sonographic 3D-visualization of the carotid vessels and compare it with contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA). Method: Curefab CS (Curefab GmbH, München, Germany) is a mobile computer hard- and software attachment to conventional ultrasoundsystems allowing 3D-reconstruction of vessels. Fifty carotid vessels of 25 patients were examined by 3D-ultrasound (2 inv…
