Summary

Classification of carotid plaque vessel wall changes in carotid stenosis accordingly to AHA classification (American Heart Association)- comparison between histology and CT. The CT is performed with a fast kVp-switching dual energy technique.

To compare the ability to detect iodine contrast enhancement in the carotid plaque compared with 3T MRI with gadolinium.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Carotid endarterectomy in clinical healthcare.

For the this study itself there is no intervention caused by the extra CT or MRI. The patients are scheduled for surgery as the routine intervention to reduce the risk of a new stroke in clinical practice. The performed extra diagnostic CT and MRI in this study before surgery will compare the vessel wall images with histology regardless of the patients status or medication.
