BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To compare multisection CT angiography (CTA) analyzed
with source/maximum intensity projection (MIP) images as well as semiautomated vessel …

Purpose: Reduced flow in the internal carotid artery (ICA) is related to cerebral ischemia. We
established a classification of reduced ICA flow through color-coded carotid duplex (CCD) …

Purpose Carotid near-occlusion is a tight atherosclerotic stenosis of the internal carotid
artery (ICA) resulting in decrease in diameter of the vessel lumen distal to the stenosis. Near …

Background Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is accepted as a primary modality to treat carotid
stenosis. The accuracy of measuring carotid stenosis is important for indication of the CEA …

Ultrasound methods are well suited for the exploration of the carotid system. High resolution
echography can visualize atheromatous defects on the vessels walls with a resolution better …

PURPOSE: To assess the luminal morphology of the extracranial internal carotid artery at
three-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic (CT) angiography and how this factor affects …

Aim The aim of this study is to assess which of the most frequently recommended
sonographic criteria for stenosis best fulfill the requirements of an exact quantification of …

Purpose: The accuracy of duplex sonography in predicting the degree of an internal carotid
artery (ICA) stenosis is decreased when a contralateral high-grade stenosis or occlusion is …

Using noninvasive transcranial Doppler sonography, we studied cerebral collateral patterns
in 30 patients with stenosis and/or occlusion of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) …

The principal role of carotid Doppler ultrasound (US) examination is the detection of stenosis
of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in the region of the carotid bifurcation. Both the European …
