    Author: Jones PJ.
    Journal: Radiol Technol; 2007; 78(5):396-409; quiz 410-2. PubMed ID: 17519375.
    Abstract:
    Carotid artery disease (CAD) can cause strokes or even death. Fortunately, some of the risk factors for CAD can be controlled, and the disease can be prevented, slowed or reversed. This article reviews those risk factors, along with normal and abnormal carotid artery anatomy, techniques for imaging the carotid arteries, treatment options for CAD and the roles of specialists who diagnose and treat it. The article concludes with a look at promising new and alternative treatments.
