Abstract
Contrast Enhanced Carotid Ultrasonography (CCU) is capable of detecting angiogenesis within the carotid plaque as a potential index of plaque vulnerability. However, due to a lack of standard of examination technique and documentation, results are not sufficiently, reliably comparable.
To improve this situation and in order to support wide acceptance of this promising technique, experts in this field met in the Consensus conference in May 22, 2011, held during the 16th ESNCH Meeting (20–23 May 2011) in Munich, Germany, to discuss the limitations and problems and to determine guidelines for its proper use in scientific investigations and clinical practice.
The main results of this conference are presented here. The discussion is still in progress and individual conclusions may not reflect the opinion of all participants. It aims to provide a basis for a later comprehensive consensus statement.
