Spiral CT is a promising novel diagnostic tool that allows noninvasive, operator-independent diagnosis of obstruction of extracranial cerebral arteries. The aim of our prospective study was to evaluate in a clinical setting the complementary role of duplex US and spiral CT.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014We compared the results obtained independently by spiral CT and duplex US in 59 consecutive patients with clinical suspicion of an obstructive lesion affecting the carotid arteries. We analyzed a total of 354 segments from the extracranial carotid arteries, including the common, internal, and external carotid arteries. A total of 4 complete occlusions, 38 severe stenoses (70% to 99%), and 32 moderate stenoses (30% to 69%) were concordantly identified by means of duplex US and spiral CT. In 5 cases in which duplex US did not allow sufficient evaluation of the carotid artery because of a poor US window or severe calcification, spiral CT allowed identification and correct measurement of the stenotic lesion. The comparison of the percentage of stenosis with both methods was good (\n            <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.91,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.024).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014Our results indicate that spiral CT of the extracranial cerebral arteries is a promising noninvasive complementary and non\u2013operator-dependent examination. Its application is particularly attractive in cases in which duplex US is not reliable (ie, severe kinking, severe calcification, short neck, and high bifurcation) and particularly when an overall view of the vascular field is required.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.98.10.984","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:41:02Z","timestamp":1339461662000},"page":"984-989","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Spiral Computed Tomography"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Roberto","family":"Corti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine (R.C., C.F., M.R., A.G.), Radiology (M.A.), and Neurology (P.L.P.), Ospedale San Giovanni, (E.O.C.)
