Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography improves visualization of the carotid vascular lumen and wall, enabling better identification of vulnerable plaque features such as ulceration and intraplaque neovascularization compared to conventional ultrasound.
Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography serves as a valuable complementary imaging modality to conventional Doppler for the detailed assessment of carotid plaque vulnerability, including the detection of ulceration and intraplaque neovascularization.
Journal scope for ultrasonography leaves open cardiovascular applications; hypothesis-generating data needed before practice change.

Rafailidis et al. (2015) conducted a review in Carotid atherosclerotic disease. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) vs. Conventional Doppler ultrasonography was evaluated. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography improves visualization of the carotid vascular lumen and wall, enabling better identification of vulnerable plaque features such as ulceration and intraplaque neovascularization compared to conventional ultrasound.
