An Approach Doppler Ultrasound as Screening Tool for Hemodyn Sig Stenosis (Despite Heterogen Doppler Perf) Stroke 27:1951-1957, Howard,G.,et al, 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The performance of Doppler ultrasound was highly variable.This suggests that Doppler performance is likely overstated in the literature,but specific devices may perform satisfactorily to detect individuals with hemodynamically significant stenosis.Because performance differs substantially among devices,local investigators are strongly urged to maintain local standardization series.With such standardization,ultrasound performance is sufficient.for admission to clinical trials as the basic for carotid surgery.However,without quality control many ultrasound machines are not adequate to accurately predict the degree of carotid stenosis and should not be the only test to decide whether surgery is warranted.
