CEUS and quantitative analysis images of carotid atherosclerotic plaques. A1–A3: acute cerebral infarction patients, B1–B3: asymptomatic patients. A1 and B1: the CEUS image shows no enhancement in the carotid plaque with asymptomatic patients, while significant enhancement (arrow) is observed in the carotid plaques with ACI patients. A2 and B2: 3D imaging of the perfusion parameters (parametric maps) is obtained from the carotid plaques using a scale of colors varying from red (maximum signal intensity) to blue (minimum signal intensity), passing through yellow and green. A3 and B3: quantitative analysis images of carotid atherosclerotic plaques; yellow arrow: IPN; green curve: time-intensity curve (TIC), blue curve: time-intensity fitting curve (FC). Numeric values of the peak, TP, sharpness, and AUC were automatically calculated based on the time-intensity curve and are shown at the top of the graphs
