Comparative analysis of 3D time-resolved contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography, color Doppler ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography in symptomatic carotid stenosis.

Abstract：

:The present study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE MRA) with 3D time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics, color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in extracranial carotid stenosis (CS). A total of 54 patients with symptomatic CS were subjected to CDUS, CE MRA and DSA examination. Results of DSA were defined as the standard, and a total of 216 vessels were examined. In each patient four vessels were examined, namely the bilateral common carotid arteries and the bilateral internal carotid arteries. The sensitivities and specificities of CE MRA and CDUS for various degrees of CS were also determined. It was observed that the sensitivities to mild-level (1-49%), moderate-level (50-69%) and severe-level (70-99%) CS were 85.45, 100 and 100% for CE MRA, and 78.18, 50 and 100% for CDUS, respectively. The corresponding specificities were 95.27, 98.58 and 99.53% for CE MRA, and 79.05, 93.36 and 98.10% for CDUS, respectively. In addition, the carotid sinus plaque detection rate for CDUS was significantly higher than that of DSA and CE MRA (both P<0.001). Detection rates for common carotid artery plaques and internal carotid artery plaques did not significantly differ among the three examination methods (all P>0.05). These data demonstrate that CE MRA has higher sensitivity and specificity than CDUS for the diagnosis of CS, and that CDUS has a higher carotid sinus plaque detection rate than DSA and CE MRA. Therefore, the combination of MRI and CDUS may be a 'gold standard' diagnostic method for the detection of moderate and severe CS.
