title: [Neuroradiological diagnostics of atherosclerotic lesions and kinking of the carotid arteries in determination of indications to surgical treatment].
abstract: Range of methods for diagnostics of extracranial arterial stenosis includes both untrasonic techniques (transcranial Doppler study, duplex sonography, which are not only screening methods, but also used in surgery as well) and high-tech imaging methods--spiral CT scans and MR angiography with visualization of structural changes in vascular wall, quantitative and functional assessment of blood flow in vessels. Aim of this study was to determine the effective of non-invasive diagnostic techniques--MR angiography (MRA), including phase-contrast MRA (PCMRA), and spiral CT angiography (SCTA) in identification and comprehensive assessment of stenosis of internal carotid artery and comparison of capabilities of these methods with gold standard--direct angiography.
