Assessing extracranial carotid stenosis: magnetic resonance angiography, duplex scanning, and digital angiography.
Recent data have demonstrated the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy in patients with severe, symptomatic carotid stenosis. In this context, our study analyzes the role of carotid testing with magnetic resonance angiography and carotid duplex scanning, as compared to arterial digital subtraction angiography.
