Duplex Ultrasound Criteria for the Identification of Carotid Stenosis Should be Laboratory Specific
Stroke 28:597-602, Kuntz,K.M.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Two vascular laboratories with similar diagnostic accuracy by ROC analysis have markedly different"optimal"DU criteria.For a given angiographic stenosis,velocities in one laboratory were consistently greater than those in the other laboratory.Laboratory-specific criteria rather than published criteria should be used to identify patients with internal carotid artery stenoses.
