A member asked:
What is more reliable ct scan or ultrasound of carotid artery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ultrasound : Is a good screening exam. Ct angiogram is best to evaluate the carotid arteries. Conventional angiography is good also but does have a small risk of stroke. See radiologyinfo.Org for more info.
