Does computerized fluoroscopy provide comparable image quality to conventional angiography in patients with suspected extracranial occlusive vascular disease?
Computerized fluoroscopy provides sufficient image quality for examining extracranial carotid arteries with excellent correlation to conventional angiography, potentially reducing procedural risks and costs.
Strother et al. (1980) studied this question.
