A member asked:
Carotid doppler showed 50% bilateral blockage, mr angiogram was negative. which is more accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Debatable: Few vascular surgeons make decisions on carotid artery stenosis based on mr, as carotid doppler (ultrasound) has been proven to be very reliable when a good technologist performs the study. From what you're describing, your carotid arteries are likely without disease as the reporting standards for ultrasound haven't quite been set. In my lab you'd likely be found to have no disease at all.
