Key result
Carotid compression tonography showed a 92% correlation with arteriography in detecting significant occlusive disease of the internal carotid artery.
Why the study?
Does carotid compression tonography accurately detect significant occlusive disease of the extracranial carotid vascular system compared to carotid arteriography?
Observational (n=122)

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Carotid compression tonography demonstrates high correlation with arteriography for detecting surgically amenable carotid lesions, suggesting its utility as a noninvasive screening technique.

Cohen et al. (1975) conducted an observational in Occlusive disease of the extracranial carotid vascular system (n=122). Carotid compression tonography (CCT) vs. Bilateral carotid arteriography was evaluated on Correlation with arteriography for significant occlusive disease. Carotid compression tonography showed a 92% correlation with arteriography in detecting significant occlusive disease of the internal carotid artery.
