Other criteria Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine A, Spectral Doppler image from distal left common carotid artery (CCA) shows peak systolic velocity (PSV) of 68.1 cm/s. This study proposed the incorporation of distal ICA flow velocity information on the conventional carotid Doppler study improving the diagnostic accuracy of PSV 1.Įnd diastolic velocity (EDV) 2 but 270 cm/sĬomplete occlusion: no flow terminal thump There may be compensatory increased velocity in the contralateral carotid No detectable patent lumen at gray-scale ultrasound and no flow with spectral, power, and color Doppler ultrasound Velocity parameters may not apply, since velocities may be high, low, or undetectableĭiagnosis is established primarily by demonstrating a markedly narrowed lumen at color or power Doppler ultrasound A comparative assessment of cerebrol hemodynamics in basilar artery and carotid territory by doppler sonography in normal subjects. ICA PSV is 230 cm/sec and visible plaque and luminal narrowing are seen at gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound (the higher the Doppler parameters lie above the threshold of 230 cm/sec, the greater the likelihood of severe disease)Īdditional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio >4 and ICA EDV >100 cm/sec Comparison of normal values of Duplex indices of vertebral arteries in young and elderly adults. This consensus developed recommendations for the diagnosis and stratification of ICA stenosis 2. Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) consensus Please refer to the article on extracranial carotid artery stenosis for a general discussion involving carotid stenosis and other image modalities involved on it. This article focus on internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis, reporting both criteria: the one published by Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound 2 and the Sonographic NASCET Index 1. Ultrasound assessment of carotid arterial atherosclerotic disease has become the first choice for carotid artery stenosis screening, permitting the evaluation of both the macroscopic appearance of plaques as well as flow characteristics in the carotid artery.
