Summary

Thirty-four carotid artery bifurcations were examined using both magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and digital subtraction arch aortography to determine their accuracy when compared to selective carotid angiography. The sensitivity of MRA was 73% and its specificity was 91% when compared with selective carotid angiography. The sensitivity of arch aortography was 27% and its specificity was 100%.
