Key result
Ultrasonic volume flowmeters accurately measure carotid diameter and flow to aid stenosis and dementia diagnosis.
Why the study?
Does an ultrasonic volume flowmeter accurately measure carotid blood flow to aid in the diagnosis of carotid stenosis and dementia?
Does an ultrasonic volume flowmeter accurately measure carotid blood flow to aid in the diagnosis of carotid stenosis and dementia?
The ultrasonic volume flowmeter is a simple, noninvasive tool that accurately measures carotid artery diameter and flow, which can aid in diagnosing carotid stenosis and dementia.

May support noninvasive carotid assessment in stenosis and dementia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Uematsu et al. (1985) studied this question. Ultrasonic volume flowmeters provide accurate noninvasive measurements of carotid artery diameter and flow, significantly aiding in the diagnosis of carotid stenosis and dementia.
