Key result
Spectral analysis of Doppler signals using a systolic A/B ratio < 1.05 detected 75% (36/48) of diseased carotid junctions, yielding an 88% probability of disease.

Does spectral analysis of Doppler signals accurately detect carotid junction disease compared to angiography?
Spectral analysis of Doppler signals, specifically the A/B systolic peak ratio, provides a non-invasive method to detect significant carotid junction disease, though it lacks sensitivity for mild stenosis.
BASKETT et al. (1977) conducted a cross-sectional in Carotid junction disease (n=101). Spectral analysis of Doppler signals vs. Angiography was evaluated on Detection of disease at the carotid junction. Spectral analysis of Doppler signals using a systolic A/B ratio < 1.05 detected 75% (36/48) of diseased carotid junctions, yielding an 88% probability of disease.
