Imaging of the Internal Carotid Artery: The Dilemma of Total Versus Near Total Occlusion Radiology 221:301-308, El-Saden,S.M.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Assuming US is the initial imaging examination, when occlusion is diagnosed, MR angiography can depict it. If occlusion is confirmed, no further imaging is necessary. US performed well in helping to differentiate vessels with focal severe stenosis from those with diffuse disease. MR angiography added little in this group. Catheter angiography remains beneficial for vessels with diffuse nonfocal narrowing.
