頸動脈超音波常見的異常 – 豆可松的健康知識園地

Carotid Artery Sonography (Ultrasound)

常見問題 Questions	說明 Explanation
頸動脈內膜中膜厚度 Carotid Intima-Media Thickness	頸動脈內膜中膜厚度是指動脈內膜和中膜的厚度測量值。這是一個重要的指標，用於評估動脈粥樣硬化的早期階段。內膜中膜厚度增加通常與心血管疾病風險增加有關。 Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) refers to the measurement of the thickness of the innermost two layers of the arterial wall (the intima and media). This is an important marker for assessing the early stages of atherosclerosis. Increased CIMT is typically associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.
頸動脈斑塊 Carotid Plaques	頸動脈斑塊是指在頸動脈內形成的脂肪沉積物或其他物質的堆積。這些斑塊可以導致動脈狹窄或阻塞，增加中風或心臟病發作的風險。超音波檢查可以用來檢測和評估這些斑塊的存在和嚴重程度。 Carotid Plaques refer to the buildup of fatty deposits or other substances within the carotid artery. These plaques can lead to the narrowing or blockage of the artery, increasing the risk of stroke or heart attack. Ultrasound examination is used to detect and evaluate the presence and severity of these plaques.
