Key result
Ultrasonic quantitative flow measurement detected significantly lower ipsilateral common carotid blood flow in patients with complete occlusion of the internal carotid artery (p<0.001).

Supports UQFM for occlusive disease screening; leaves open accuracy for absolute carotid flow quantification.
Observational (n=84)
Can ultrasonic quantitative flow measurement (UQFM) accurately assess absolute common carotid flow in patients with cerebrovascular disease?
p-value: p=<0.001
Ultrasonic quantitative flow measurement is a useful tool for screening occlusive cerebrovascular disease and understanding ischemia mechanisms in the presence of carotid lesions.
Mizukami et al. (1981) conducted an observational in Cerebrovascular disease (n=84). Ultrasonic quantitative flow measurement (UQFM) vs. Unaffected side was evaluated on Absolute common carotid flow (p=<0.001). Ultrasonic quantitative flow measurement detected significantly lower ipsilateral common carotid blood flow in patients with complete occlusion of the internal carotid artery (p<0.001).
