Implication

Comparable detection rates may support interchangeable use of either modality; leaves open direct accuracy comparisons in symptomatic patients.

Structured PICO

Does CT angiography compare favorably to Color Doppler ultrasonography in the detection and measurement of carotid artery stenosis in symptomatic patients?

P
Population
100 adult patients (n=200 carotid arteries) with mild neurological symptoms (instability, dizziness, neurological signs of ischemic attacks) or murmurs over carotid arteries. Mean age 61.5 years, 44% female. Excluded: malignant diseases, congenital malformations, trauma, severe neurological diseases, pregnancy, case history of allergies to contrast agents.
I
Intervention
CT angiography (CTA) of carotid arteries
C
Comparator
Color Doppler ultrasonography of carotid arteries
O
Outcome
Detection and measurement of carotid artery stenosis and occlusion (specificity and sensitivity)surrogate

Both CT angiography and Color Doppler ultrasonography are highly reliable and sensitive methods for detecting carotid artery stenosis and occlusion, occupying an important place in the radiological algorithm.
