چکیده

Twenty-two cervical carotid artery bifurcations were evaluated in 11 patients using a high-resolution computed tomographic (CT) technique with image reformation permitting display of the bifurcation anatomy. Arteriography was also done in eight of the patients, two of whom subsequently underwent carotid endarterectomy. The CT study showed patency of the proximal internal carotid artery in every case and depicted significant stenosis of four vessels. Thrombus within a large ulcer was seen in one vessel on CT, but another shallow ulcer found on angiography was missed. Although the data are limited, this preliminary experience suggests a possible role for this technique in carotid bifurcation screening and indicates further investigation may be worthwhile.

Examination of the Extracranial Carotid Bifurcation by Thin-Section Dynamic CT: Direct Visualization of Intimal Atheroma

Because carotid angiography has been shown to have limitations in the detection of intimal disease at the bifurcation, a new method of examination of the extracranial carotid artery has been developed using thin-section dynamic computed tomographic (CT) scanning. Carotid atheroma and thrombi can be imaged directly on these sections. The intimal lesions are uniformly hypodense with respect to th...

Introduction: Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is the standard method for detection of carotid artery stenosis. This technique has high radiation dose. With the progress of imaging techniques, noninvasive or minimally invasive methods like the CT angiography, MR angiography and ultrasonography with Doppler or Duplex mode were applicable. This study aimed to evaluate and assesse the results...

Incremental dynamic computed tomography: practical method of imaging the carotid bifurcation.

A simple, practical method of applying incremental dynamic computed tomography (CT) to the imaging of 20 carotid bifurcations is described. The results are compared with those obtained by conventional carotid angiography and intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Conventional angiography provided additional information about the carotid bifurcation in only one of 14 cases, while inc...

Multi-detector row CT angiography in the assessment of carotid artery disease in symptomatic patients: comparison with rotational angiography and digital subtraction angiography.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Compared with the single-detector technique, multi-detector row CT angiography permits larger anatomic coverage that includes both the epiaortic and entire carotid circulations. We evaluated the accuracy of multi-detector row CT angiography by using multiplanar reformation (MPR) for measuring carotid artery diameters compared with that of rotational angiography. We also e...
