CONCLUSIONS

In the BioImage study, a new 3-dimensional–based ultrasound method identified

more carotid plaques than in previous studies. Compared to other methods, carotid plaque burden was

the strongest cross-sectional predictor of CACS, and its clinical utility as predictor of future cardiovascular events is being evaluated in the BioImage study.
