Conclusions
Threedimensional ultrasound is a feasible technique when performed by experienced examiners. It can help in the general carotid axis imaging, better presenting the vessels course and the caliber variations “at a glance”. Threedimensional US reconstructions from the inward flow can also provide imaging of stenosis, but its quantification must always take into account the assessment of plaque morphology and vessels wall, by the exact knowledge of the bidimensional images and of hemodynamic patterns.
