Carotid artery plaque characteristics: current reporting practices on CT angiography

Hediyeh Baradaran et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the reporting of carotid plaque features on neck CTAs at an academic institution, finding that while nearly all reports mentioned the degree of luminal stenosis, only a minority mentioned specific plaque features. There is a lack of comprehensive reporting on plaque features despite their importance in stroke risk assessment.

Optimal Carotid Plaque Features on Computed Tomography Angiography Associated With Ischemic Stroke

Hediyeh Baradaran et al.

Summary: Recent evidence suggests that specific plaque features detected on imaging may be more highly associated with ischemic stroke than stenosis. The study found that intraluminal thrombus, maximum soft plaque thickness, and the rim sign are important markers for discriminating ipsilateral carotid sources of stroke, providing better diagnostic information than carotid stenosis measurement alone. These alternative markers may better diagnose vulnerable carotid plaque and guide treatment decisions.
