Why the study?
Carotid plaque characteristics play an important role beyond stenosis degree, prompting the need to summarize current plaque imaging methods for identifying vulnerable plaques and discuss future challenges.
Multimodality carotid plaque imaging is crucial for identifying unstable plaques and assessing ischemic risk beyond traditional stenosis severity measurements.
Plaque imaging may refine carotid stenosis risk stratification beyond degree alone; leaves open prospective validation before guiding interventions.
