title: Contrast-enhanced transoral carotid ultrasonography for the evaluation of a long stenotic lesion in the internal carotid artery.
abstract: Contrast-enhanced transoral carotid ultrasonography (CETOCU) is a novel modality for imaging the distal extracranial internal carotid artery, which is not possible with conventional carotid ultrasonography. We present a representative case that demonstrates the usefulness of CETOCU.
