Directed ultrasonic screening for carotid stenosis is cost-effective in populations with > 5% prevalence of the diagnosis. Occasionally, calcifications area arteries are incidentally detected on odontological panoramic radiographs. We aimed to determine if directed ultrasound indicated individuals such calcifications.This was a cross-sectional study. Carotid examinations were performed consecutive persons, findings radiography that otherwise eligible asymptomatic endarterectomy.Calcification...
Background and Aim: Arterial calcification is often detected on ultrasound examination but its diagnostic accuracy not well validated. The aim of this study was to determine the carotid B mode findings in detecting atherosclerotic quantified by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: We analyzed 94 arteries, from 88 patients (mean age 70 ± 7 years, 33% females), who underwent pre-endarterectomy examination. Plaques with high echogenic nodules posterior shadowing were considered...
Approximately 7% of patients examined with panoramic radiographs (PRs) for odontological reasons, and incidental findings carotid artery calcification (CAC), have significant (≥50%) stenosis (SCS). The aim this study was to determine if the radiographic appearance CACs in PRs could be categorized such that we improve positive-predictive value (PPV) SCS detection.This cross-sectional included 278 identified by PRs, 127 151 without SCS. were based on following appearances: (1) single, (2)...
Abstract Background In odontology, panoramic radiographs (PRs) are regularly performed. PRs depict the teeth and jaws as well carotid artery calcifications (CACs). Patients with CACs on have an increased risk of vascular events compared to healthy controls without CACs, but this association is often caused by more factors at baseline. However, has only been analyzed based presence not their shape. Thus, study determined if shape in affects future events. Methods The cohort included 117...
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to map the vertical locations calcified carotid plaques (CCPs), osseous anatomic structures, and soft tissues in area artery, determine what extent CCPs are superimposed on cervical spine coronal images, analyze differences between men women.Study DesignComputed tomography angiography (CTA) scans 79 patients were studied. discovered 152 total 158 neck sides. Evaluations performed by using sagittal reformatted CTA images with maximum intensity...
Abstract Objectives Carotid artery calcification (CAC) is occasionally detected in panoramic radiographs (PR). Bilateral vessel-outlining (BVO) CACs are independent risk markers for future vascular events and have been associated with large plaque area. If accounting area, BVO may no longer be an marker events. The aim of this study was to explore the association between its relationship carotid ultrasound Methods In cohort we prospectively included 212 consecutive participants PR that were...
