In recent years,research on carotid atherosclerosis has turned to the aspect of neovascularization in vulnerable plaques.The evaluation of neovascularization in plaques using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography has become one of the novel technologies to determine the plaque stability.This article reviews the principles of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and its application in the evaluation of neovascularization in carotid atherosclerotic plaques and vulnerable plaques.
