ABSTRACT |
Rapid progression in ultrasound techniques resulted in a wide clinical applications for assessment of cervical vascular system. Duplex scanning of the carotid arteries combines B-mode ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound within a single instrument, providing anatomical imaging of the vessel and flow velocity information. The clinical applications, practical techniques, and basic principles of Doppler scanning in cervical vascular system are discussed. |
