    70 percent stenosis of the right internal carotid artery as seen by ultrasound. Arrow marks the lumen of the artery. CT image of a 70 percent stenosis of the right internal carotid artery. Carotid artery stenosis is usually diagnosed by color flow duplex ultrasound scan of the carotid arteries in the neck.

    Selective angiography of the external carotid artery showing an indirect type D right carotid cavernous fistula, filling of the cavernous sinus (arrow) and retrograde drainage into the right superior ophthalmic vein (arrowhead) [1] This is based on MRI scan, magnetic resonance angiography and CT scan.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography...

    Volume rendered CT scan of abdominal and pelvic blood vessels. CT angiography is a contrast CT where images are taken with a certain delay after injection of radiocontrast material. The contrast material is radiodense causing it to light up brightly within the blood vessels of interest. In order for the CT scanner to be able to scan the correct ...

  6. Carotid ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_ultrasonography

    Carotid ultrasound is a low-cost, noninvasive, and accurate diagnostic imaging modality used to evaluate diseases of the carotid arteries. [2] It is most often used to diagnose carotid artery stenosis, a form of atherosclerosis, and has the capability to assess plaque morphology and characteristics. [1]

  7. Cavernous sinus thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavernous_sinus_thrombosis

    An MRI using flow parameters and an MR venogram are more sensitive than a CT scan and are the imaging studies of choice to diagnose cavernous sinus thrombosis. Findings may include deformity of the internal carotid artery within the cavernous sinus, and an obvious signal hyperintensity within thrombosed vascular sinuses on all pulse sequences.

  8. Total anterior circulation infarct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_anterior_circulation...

    The anterior circulation is the part that is supplied by the internal carotid artery, as opposed to the posterior circulation, supplied by the vertebral arteries. Total anterior circulation stroke syndrome ( TACS ) refers to the symptoms of a patient who clinically appears to have had a total anterior circulation infarct, but who has not yet ...

  9. Intima–media thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intima–media_thickness

    The carotid artery is the usual site of measurement of IMT and consensus statements for carotid IMT have been published for adults [12] and children. [13] Often, carotid IMT is measured in three locations: in the common carotid artery (typically at one cm proximal to the flow divider), at the bifurcation, and in the internal carotid artery.
