  • Title: High resolution real time ultrasound of the carotid bifurcation.
    Author: Cooperberg PL, Robertson WD, Fry P, Sweeney V.
    Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 1979 Feb; 7(1):13-7. PubMed ID: 108293.
    Abstract:
    We have been using a high resolution real time ultrasound mechanical sector scanner to visualize the carotid bifurcation. Twenty-six patients were studied before carotid arteriography for transient ischemic attacks. One bifurcation was not adequately visualized. Of the remaining 51, plaques were identified correctly in 29; absence of plaques was identified correctly in 15; small plaques were demonstrated by ultrasound in two that did not appear on the arteriogram; and four small plaques and one significant stenosis were not identified by ultrasound.
