Description
Atherosclerosis in neck arteries. 3D coloured computed tomography (CT) scan and angiogram of the neck arteries (orange) and bones in a 59-year-old man with atherosclerosis. The scan shows the carotid blood vessels in anterior (frontal) view, with the bones of the face removed. The irregular appearance of the arterial walls, and areas of narrowing (three areas marked with arrows), indicate the presence of atheromatous plaques, deposits of cholesterol and fats on the blood vessel walls. This narrowing (stenosis) is a risk factor for strokes.
