Carotid blood flow measured by an ultrasonic volume flowmeter in carotid stenosis and patients with dementia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The volume flowmeter is a simple, noninvasive Doppler ultrasound technique that provides accurate measurement of carotid artery diameter and flow. The device provides a useful laboratory test that can aid significantly in diagnosis of carotid stenosis and dementia.

Correlation of common carotid flow volume measured by ultrasonic quantitative flowmeter with pathological findings.
To evaluate the possibility of quantitatively diagnosing carotid and cerebral atherosclerosis noninvasively, we measured common carotid flow volume in 60 sides (30 patients), using an ultrasonic quantitative flowmeter, and then compared these findings to the severity score of carotid and cerebral atherosclerosis as determined at autopsy. Stenosis decreased common carotid flow volume in the caro...
متن کاملChanges in Internal Carotid Blood Flow after CEA Evaluated by Transit Time Flowmeter
Methods and Materials In 200 out of 660 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for a high-degree ICA stenosis, pre-operatively a bilateral selective carotid and intracerebral angiography was performed. The degree of the ipsilateral and contralateral stenosis was digitally assessed by using computer software according to the CC-Index. Intraoperatively, the pressure ratio over the steno...
متن کاملCervical carotid imaging with a continuous-wave Doppler flowmeter.
Cervical Carotid Imaging With a ContinuousWave Doppler Flowmeter • A noninvasive technique for carotid arteriography using an ultrasonic directional Doppler flowmeter to image the carotid bifurcations is described. The technique uses a position sensing arm to hold the sharply focusing probe and translates the position of arterial flow onto an image storage screen. By multiple manual sweeps acro...
متن کاملRelationship between ophthalmic artery blood flow and recanalization of occluded carotid artery. Ultrasonic Doppler study.
Ophthalmic artery blood flow in 5 patients with internal carotid artery occlusion of sudden onset was monitored by an ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter to investigate the possible relationship to spontaneous recanalization of the occluded artery. The occluded internal carotid arteries of 2 patients were confirmed angiographically to recanalize and the reversed flow of their ophthalmic arteries chang...
متن کاملEvaluation of cross-circulation through circle of Willis using an ultrasonic Doppler technique. Part II. Comparison between blood flow velocity by ultrasonic Doppler flowmetry and cerebrovascular resistance.
The correlation between the increase in velocity of blood flow in both the internal carotid and vertebral arteries during a carotid compression and the cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) was investigated in 11 patients with chronic ischemic cerebrovascular disease and 4 without organic brain lesions. The velocity of blood flow was measured by an ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter. CVR was calculated fr...
