Neurographics Case Conversations: Carotid Plaque-RADS: A Novel Stroke Risk Classification System
Description & Learning Objectives
Article Description: Carotid artery atherosclerosis is highly prevalent in the general population and is a well-established risk factor for acute ischemic stroke. Although the morphological characteristics of vulnerable plaques are well recognized, there is a lack of consensus in reporting and interpreting carotid plaque features.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will gain strategies to:
- Identify the current limits of classification models based on the degree of stenosis and recognize the most important features of the carotid atherosclerotic plaque.
- Understand basic knowledge of the Carotid Plaque-RADS model, its rationale, and application.
- Understand how to apply the Carotid Plaque-RADS model.
