Ultrasound may aid noninvasive plaque detection in TIA; leaves open validation as arteriography alternative in prospective studies.
Does high resolution real time ultrasound accurately identify carotid bifurcation plaques compared to carotid arteriography in patients with transient ischemic attacks?
High-resolution real-time ultrasound can visualize the carotid bifurcation and identify plaques with reasonable accuracy compared to arteriography.
Cooperberg et al. (1979) studied this question.
