Echolucency of carotid plaques correlates with plaque cellularity [PDF]
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2003 To analyse the relationship between carotid plaque echolucency and cellularity.Carotid plaques (14 symptomatic and 16 asymptomatic) were snap frozen after endarterectomy and defined on the basis of their grey-scale-median (GSM), obtained from pre-operative high-definition ultrasonography, as either echolucent (or=32). DNA and total soluble protein were
