title: [Sonographic determination of the position of the carotid bifurcation as a diagnostic aid in cerebral catheter angiography].
abstract: A simple sonographic method is described for demonstrating the position of the carotid bifurcation in the sagittal plane. As a result, it is possible to demonstrate the bifurcation by angiography without overlay, thereby improving the diagnosis of vascular abnormalities. Since non-invasive sonography of the carotid arteries should be carried out before cerebral angiography in any case, the present procedure does not involve any additional effort.
