Abstract
Single-sweep automated 3-D ultrasound is a new imaging modality for the assessment
of carotid plaque. Its most important application is the measurement of the plaque
volume. To our knowledge, to date there is not a widely accepted “gold standard” to
validate 3-D plaque volume measurement. We compared the findings of 2-dimensional
and 3-D carotid ultrasound imaging with those of postsurgical plaque specimen using
a simple method.
Résumé
L’échographie 3D automatisée en un seul balayage est une nouvelle modalité diagnostique
pour l’évaluation de la plaque présente dans l’artère carotide, notamment pour la
mesure du volume de cette dernière. À notre connaissance, il n’existe pas actuellement
de norme de référence largement reconnue permettant de valider l’évaluation du volume
de la plaque en 3D. Nous avons donc, à l’aide d’une méthode simple, comparé les résultats
d’échographies carotidiennes 2D et 3D aux échantillon de plaque prélevés lors des
chirurgies.
