The gold standard for the detection of atheroma is ultrasonography with Doppler; the panoramic radiograph cannot be considered an accurate test for stenosis, but a finding on radiography requires referral to a specialist for diagnosis, because there is a connection between findings in panoramic radiography and cardiovascular events (16).

It is hypothesized that normal coronaries with no atherosclerosis are more susceptible to luminal compression by intramedial hemorrhage due to an absence of the "stenting effect" of an atheroma which is relatively more rigid than the layers of a normal artery wall.
