Programme Introduction
About this programme
🩺 Medical CME
✅ Case-Based Learning
📊 Guideline-Aligned
Luminal imaging is central to assessing carotid artery disease, since the degree of luminal narrowing has historically guided intervention decisions and remains a key input alongside plaque characterisation.
Choosing the right imaging modality — duplex ultrasound, CT angiography, or MR angiography — depends on clinical context, availability, and the specific question being asked, and each modality carries distinct strengths and limitations for measuring stenosis severity.
TerraLeap’s Luminal Imaging for Carotid Artery Disease programme is designed for vascular, neurology, and radiology teams who need to select and interpret the right imaging study for carotid disease assessment.
The programme covers modality selection principles, technical strengths and limitations of each imaging approach, and structured interpretation of luminal narrowing findings.
Guideline-aligned reasoning — built through real clinical case discussion.
