Abstract

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of vector flow imaging (VFI)-derived hemodynamic parameters and radiofrequency echo-tracking-derived arterial stiffness indices (RF-ASI) for detecting severe carotid artery stenosis. METHODS: This prospective, single-center observational study included 90 patients with carotid artery disease examined between May and July 2024. Stenosis severity was categorized as
