Key result
3D carotid ultrasound reconstruction shows ~95% feasibility and detects hidden plaques missed by 2D imaging.
Why the study?
Does 3-D ultrasound reconstruction of the carotid artery improve feasibility and plaque detection compared to conventional 2D ultrasound in subjects with and without coronary artery disease?
Observational (n=19)
Does 3-D ultrasound reconstruction of the carotid artery improve feasibility and plaque detection compared to conventional 2D ultrasound in subjects with and without coronary artery disease?
3-D ultrasound reconstruction of the carotid artery is highly feasible and provides additional information on plaque morphology and location compared to conventional 2D imaging.
Supports additional plaque detection with 3D carotid reconstruction; leaves open clinical impact on CAD risk stratification.

Lee et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=19). 3-dimensional ultrasound reconstruction vs. Conventional 2-D ultrasound was evaluated on Successful 3-D reconstruction of images. 3-dimensional ultrasound reconstruction of the carotid artery was feasible in 95% of subjects (18 of 19) and detected hidden plaques not seen on conventional 2-D imaging.
