Evaluation of Carotid Stenosis

Board-certified Neuroradiologist and previous Director of MR Imaging at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, Dr. Heiserman describes current indications for carotid endarterectomy, and lists the imaging methods and possible combinations of modalities and protocols for diagnosing and/or staging of carotid stenosis. In addition to a summary of the advantages and limitations of magnetic resonance angiography in general, he describes normal and abnormal appearances of the carotid bifurcation on MRA. An invaluable resource for every physician regardless of specialty.
