"The embolisation from atherosclerotic carotid plaque is the most common cause of ischemic stroke and, therefore, the identi\uFB01cation of the high-risk plaque by ultrasound is important. The aim of this study was to investigate an agreement between two investigators in evaluation of ultrasound parameters of the stability of the plaque. Individual ultrasound images of carotid plaque in patients after ischemic stroke were evaluated independently by two experienced examiners. The following parameters of the plaques were assessed: echogenicity, homogeneity, surface, maximum content and volume. Serial 2D image sequences were obtained using a GE VIVID 7 Pro ultrasound device. Linear motion of probe was automatically synchronized with the pulse of the heart. The edges of the plaque in each image were manually identified by investigators. The total volume of plaque was calculated upon the transformation of 2D images into 3D format using the FOTOM PC program. Results: We enrolled 30 subjects (22males, mean age 72 +/-13 years) to the study and evaluated 28 atherosclerotic plaques." . "22. European Stroke Conference" . .
