The 90s called & wants its carotid imaging back!

It’s been 30 years--are you still on NASCET?

Feeling vulnerable about plaque vulnerability?

This month’s @theAJNR SCANtastic has what you need to know about carotid plaque

https://t.co/5tTqrJr2mS

Carotid disease not only harms by stenosis but also by serving as a source of emboli.

We can use carotid plaque-RADS, which has been adapted for CTA to identify high-risk plaques!

Type 1 = no plaque.
--Remember bc the number 1 looks like a smooth straight vessel with no plaque!

Type 2 = plaque thickness < 3mm & no signs of vulnerability (ulceration)
--Remember this bc 2 is < 3 & the curve of the number 2 mimics a smooth, non-ulcerated plaque.

Type 3 = plaque thickness >3mm or ulceration
--Remember 3 is greater than 3! And the scooped out part of the number 3 looks like scooped out ulceration!

Type 4 = plaque hemorrhage or intraluminal thrombus
--Remember pointy part of the number 4 looks like pointy thrombus pointing into the lumen
--Remember also the number four has a hole in the middle—just like the hole blasted in a plaque by intraplaque hemorrhage!

In this month’s @theAJNR, Saba et al. found that this scoring system was highly reproducible among intermediate & experienced readers.

But like all things radiology—there was a learning curve for inexperienced readers.

So go beyond NASCET!

Hopefully, now you’ll never feel vulnerable about vulnerable carotid plaque!

Follow @theAJNR and check it out for yourself:
