Accuracy and Prognostic Consequences of Ultrasonography in Identifying Severe Carotid Artery Stenosis Stroke 26:1747-1752, 17431995., Eliasziw,M.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The results indicate that the accuracy of ultrasonography is moderate when flow parameters are used to assess the degree of stenosis.Ultrasonography should be used as a screening tool to exclude patients with no carotid artery disease from further testing.Conventional angiography remains an essential investigation before assigning the risk of stroke and deciding appropriate treatment for extracranial carotid artery disease.
