  • Title: B-Mode sonography as a screening procedure for asymptomatic carotid bruits.
    Author: Anderson RD, Powell DF, Vitek JJ.
    Journal: Am J Roentgenol Radium Ther Nucl Med; 1975 Jun; 124(2):292-6. PubMed ID: 1137042.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-five B-mode carotid sonograms were obtained at random on patients undergoing cerebral arteriography. A 5 mHz transducer was used. The results were correlated with magnified cervical carotid arteriograms obtained on these patients. B-mode sonography was accurate in evaluating the carotid arteries for surgical stenosis in 72 per cent of the cases. The feasibility of using B-mode sonography as a screening test in patients with asymptomatic carotid bruits is discussed.
