title: Doppler ultrasound as an adjunct for the investigation of amaurosis fugax.
abstract: This study demonstrates the ability of Doppler ultrasound using both a simple Doppler technique and Duplex scanning to identify lesions at the carotid bifurcation. The procedure is non-invasive and is of little discomfort to the patient. Doppler ultrasound provides a sound basis for clinical evaluation of vascular disease.
