Abstract
In a prospective study the accuracy of B-mode ultrasound imaging alone was compared
with its use in conjunction with bidirectional Doppler ultrasound, carotid phonoangiography,
and oculoplethysmography to independently assess contrast arteriograms of carotid
arteries studied for presumed extracranial vascular disease. The addition of B-mode
real-time imaging improved the accuracy of diagnosis by nearly 10%.
