A member asked:
Carotid artery disease, different results from duplex ultrasound vs. ct angiogram (cta), is that possible?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Results: Because these are two different imaging modalities, it is possible to get divergent results. Generally however these two studies show congruent data.

Ultrasound: Is a good test but best for screening. Cta is a superior way of imaging the carotid arteries. See these tests at radiologyinfo.Org.
