Wall shear stress can improve prediction accuracy for transient ischemic attack

Figure 2 Wall shear stress distribution at the plaque generated with the shear stress quantitative analysis software. The patient in the figure was a 52-year-old woman. Ultrasound examination showed mixed plaque in the internal carotid artery. The stenosis degree in the internal carotid artery was 35%. A: Color Doppler blood flow pattern at the internal carotid artery plaque; B: Two-dimensional wall shear stress (WSS) spatial distribution at the internal carotid artery plaque; C: Three-dimensional WSS spatial distribution at the internal carotid artery plaque.
