Comparative Evaluation of Doppler Sonography and Magnetic Resonance Angiography in Assessing Extracranial Carotid and Vertebral Arteries in Patients With Stroke
Doppler sonography is a reliable bedside screening tool for detecting significant occlusive disease in patients with stroke. However, MRA offers superior resolution, particularly for assessing high-grade stenosis and collateral circulation. Together, they serve as complementary diagnostic modalities, and their combined use may enhance stroke evaluation and support more effective therapeutic decision-making.
