Abstract：Carotid atherosclerosis is believed to be one of the major causes for ischemic stroke. Focal hemodynamics is closely associated with carotid atherosclerosis, in aspects of formation, development, and rupture. For example, low wall shear stress promotes the formation of plaque and high wall shear stress induces the rupture of plaque. Both computational fluid dynamics derived from three-dimensional images obtained from DSA, CTA, and MRI, and phase contrast MR can be used to obtain hemodynamic parameters. Combining the morphology, composition of plaque, and the hemodynamic around plaque will provide more valuable information to clinic.
