BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Duplex sonography is an effective tool for evaluating
internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, and power Doppler imaging has improved its value in …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Established Doppler parameters for carotid stenosis
assessment do not reflect North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial …

Background and Purpose Power Doppler imaging (PDI) is a new sonographic technique
that has recently been introduced for vascular application. Since the technical principles 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 …

Background and Purpose The North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial
(NASCET) demonstrated the benefit of carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic patients …

Objective. The purpose of this study was to compare velocity measurements obtained with 2
fixed insonation angles and to investigate whether there is a difference in their ability in …

PURPOSE: To determine if duplex ultrasonography (US) can help predict the degree of
internal carotid arterial (ICA) stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ICA peak systolic …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Gradation of high-grade intracranial internal carotid artery
(ICA) stenosis poses a challenge to noninvasive neurovascular imaging, which seems …

Objectives duplex ultrasound has replaced angiography prior to carotid endarterectomy
(CEA) in many institutions. However, the indications for CEA are based on angiographically …

Aim to investigate the importance of Doppler angle differentiating between 50–69% and≥
70% internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Material and methods fifty-one patients with a …
