Key result
Continuous-wave Doppler and B-mode real-time ultrasound showed high agreement (87.5% to 98.1%) with cervicocranial arteriography for evaluating carotid bifurcation stenosis and ulcers.
Why the study?
Do continuous-wave Doppler and B-mode real-time ultrasound accurately predict extracranial carotid artery arteriosclerosis compared to cervicocranial arteriography in patients undergoing arteriography?

Do continuous-wave Doppler and B-mode real-time ultrasound accurately predict extracranial carotid artery arteriosclerosis compared to cervicocranial arteriography in patients undergoing arteriography?
Continuous-wave Doppler and B-mode real-time ultrasound demonstrate high predictive accuracy for detecting extracranial carotid artery arteriosclerosis compared to arteriography.
Anne M. Jones (1982) conducted a cross-sectional in Extracranial Carotid Artery Arteriosclerosis (n=50). Continuous-wave Doppler and B-mode real-time ultrasound vs. Cervicocranial arteriography was evaluated on Agreement between ultrasound studies and arteriographic diagnosis. Continuous-wave Doppler and B-mode real-time ultrasound showed high agreement (87.5% to 98.1%) with cervicocranial arteriography for evaluating carotid bifurcation stenosis and ulcers.
