Evaluation of Carotid Stenosis Using CT Angiography in the Initial Evaluation of Stroke and TIA
Neurol 63:457-460,412, Josephson,S.A.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In this consecutive series of patients with CT angiography of the neck and digital subtraction angiography, the authors found that CT angiography has a high sensitivity and high negative predictive value for carotid disease. CT angiography appears to be an excellent screening test for internal carotid artery stenosis, and the authors advocate its use for the initial imaging of patients with suspected stroke or TIA.
