THE CAPABILITY OF CONVENTIONAL RADIOLOGICAL METHODS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF CAROTID ARTERIES CALCIFICATIONS
Abstract
A retrospective analysis of the wide-spread X-ray images of the lower face zone examination is presented in order to study its ability to detect carotid artery calcifications in patients over 55 years old (mean age: 65.8 years). It should become a promising screening trend which will help reducing the risk of atherosclerotic cerebrovascular complications.
