Abstract EN

Ultrasound (US) is one of the most important diagnostic tools available for the detection and evaluation of carotid stenosis.

The case of a 70-year-old woman with recurrent right-sided amaurosis fugax presented here highlights the way in which tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) may aid in the diagnosis of carotid plaque vulnerability.

Furthermore, the novel inverse fly-through technique was used for the three-dimensional visualization of the carotid stenosis.
