Purpose: Comparison of angiography (A), multi-slice CTA (MSCTA) and Ultrasound (US) is mostly performed by measuring percentage internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis irrespective of angulation of planes. AIM: To evaluate the accuracy of MSCTA by using multiplanar reformation (MPR) for measuring ICA stenosis compared with that of angiography and accuracy of Power Doppler (PD)-US compared with MSCTA at corresponding projections. Patients and methods: CTA of ICA were compared with A in 23 mid to high grade ICA stenoses of 21 patients screened by doppler US velocity criteria. CTA were compared with PDUS in 21 ICA s…
