EP 74. Comparison of freehand B-mode and power-mode 3D ultrasound for visualisation and grading of internal carotid artery stenosis

Currently, colour-coded duplex sonography (2D-CDS) is clinical standard for detection and grading of ICAS (1,2) as a relevant risk factor for ischaemic stroke (3,4). Unlike angiographic imaging modalities, 2D-CDS assesses ICAS by its haemodynamic effects rather than luminal changes1. Therefore, aim of this study was to evaluate freehand 3D ultrasound (3DUS) for direct visualisation and quantification of ICAS.
