Carotid ultrasonography: A, B-mode longitudinal image of the carotid sinus and proximal segment of the right internal carotid artery (ICA). A poorly demarcated parietal lesion is seen in the proximal ICA segment, most likely atherosclerotic plaque (arrows); B, power Doppler ultrasonography shows arterial stenosis and deep ulceration (thick arrow) of the stenotic lesion (thin arrows; arterial lumen marked with color); C, D, a stent graft visible at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, wide arterial lumen; E, stent grafts seen on the transverse image right above the common carotid artery bifurcation into the right ICA and right external carotid artery (ECA), normal arterial lumen.
