 About
NeckScore
The primary purpose
of NeckScore is to look for plaque in
the carotid arteries.
The presence of plaque
may indicate an increased risk for stroke,
with the quantity of plaque proportional
to the risk. The report may comment on
other incidental findings.
|
| Each
carotid artery is scored separately. You
can interpret the scores as follows for
each artery:
Score 0 = no visible
plaque
Score 1-50 = mild plaque
Score 50-150 = moderate
plaque
Score over 150 = large
plaque
