DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000014672
Abstract: Abstract Atherosclerosis has severe consequences on human health. Carotid artery plaques are a condition typically caused by atherosclerosis. Previous studies showed that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) are risks factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.3233/ch-221510
Abstract: BACKGROUND Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a routine technique for detecting intraplaque neovascularization (IPN). However, the invasiveness and complexity of CEUS severely limit its clinical application. This article aims to investigate the application value of AngioPLUS… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Diagnostics"
DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics10121111
Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents one modality in atherosclerosis risk assessment, by permitting the classification of carotid plaques into either high- or low-risk lesions. Although MRI is generally used for observing the impact of atherosclerosis… read more here.
