Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography of Carotid Arteries

Article Abstract
CEMRA was found to be highly sensitive for detection of surgically amenable carotid stenosis. x scores for the interpretation of CEMRA and catheter angiography were similar. However, clinicians should be cautious when using CEMRA alone for surgical decision making in CEA candidates because a significant number of patients may be misclassified. The rate of misclassification is reduced when the results of CEMRA and duplex Doppler ultrasound are concordant.
