Abstract
Background: Duplex scanning is now the most widely used method of assessing anomalies in carotid arteries. Carotid disease is more accurately assessed by adding color coding, and test sensitivity is 100%. Duplex scan results are dependent on the operator's accuracy. However, literature data is scarce in the Indian context. Aim: The present study aimed to comparatively assess Duplex scan and Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography for extracranial carotid artery stenosis in anterior circulation ischemic stroke.
