Outcome, Observer Reliability, and Patient Preferences if CTA, MRA, or Doppler Ultrasound Were Used, Individually or Together, Instead of Digital Subtraction Angiography Before Carotid Endarterectomy
JNNP 73:21-28, Patel,S.G.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
DUS, CTA, and MRA all show similar accuracy in the diagnosis of symptomatic carotid stenosis. No technique on its own is accurate enough to replace DSA. Two non-invasive techniques in combination, and adding a third if the first two disagre e, appears more accurate, but may still result n diagnostic errors.
