A linear regression analysis was performed to estimate the degree of angiographic stenosis as a function of the peak systolic velocity (PSV). PSV thresholds were calculated for the ipsilateral and contralateral carotid arteries based on maximizing accuracy and optimizing cost-effectiveness.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            The PSV measurements significantly overestimated the angiographic stenosis in the contralateral artery (9.5%; 95% CI, 6.3% to 12.7%) compared with the ipsilateral carotid artery. The recommended PSV threshold for the diagnosis of 70% to 99% stenosis is 230 cm\/s. Maximizing accuracy, the optimal PSV threshold for the ipsilateral artery was 280 cm\/s, and for the contralateral artery, 370 cm\/s for diagnosing a 70% to 99% stenosis. Optimizing cost-effectiveness, the optimal PSV threshold was 220 cm\/s for ipsilateral and 290 cm\/s for contralateral carotid arteries.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            PSV measurements overestimate the degree of angiographic stenosis in the contralateral carotid artery in patients with symptoms of amaurosis fugax, TIA, or minor stroke. Separate PSV thresholds should be used for the ipsilateral and contralateral carotid artery. PSV thresholds that optimize cost-effectiveness differ from the recommended thresholds and from thresholds that maximize accuracy.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.0000181753.40455.07","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,9,9]],"date-time":"2005-09-09T00:53:53Z","timestamp":1126227233000},"page":"2105-2109","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Diagnostic Performance of Duplex Ultrasound in Patients Suspected of Carotid Artery Disease"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Majanka H.","family":"Heijenbrok-Kal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Program for the Assessment of Radiological Technology (ART Program), Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Department of Radiology, Erasmus MC-University Medical Center Rotterdam, the Netherlands (M.H.H.-K., M.G.M.H.); the Department of Neurology, Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, the Netherlands (P.J.N.); Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands (E.B., Y.vdG.); and the Department of Health Policy and Management,..."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul J.","family":"Nederkoorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Program for the Assessment of Radiological Technology (ART Program), Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Department of Radiology, Erasmus MC-University Medical Center Rotterdam, the Netherlands (M.H.H.-K., M.G.M.H.); the Department of Neurology, Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, the Netherlands (P.J.N.); Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands (E.B., Y.vdG.); and the Department of Health Policy and Management,..."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erik","family":"Buskens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Program for the Assessment of Radiological Technology (ART Program), Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Department of Radiology, Erasmus MC-University Medical Center Rotterdam, the Netherlands (M.H.H.-K., M.G.M.H.); the Department of Neurology, Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, the Netherlands (P.J.N.); Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands (E.B., Y.vdG.); and the Department of Health Policy and Management,..."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yolanda","family":"van der Graaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Program for the Assessment of Radiological Technology (ART Program), Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Department of Radiology, Erasmus MC-University Medical Center Rotterdam, the Netherlands (M.H.H.-K., M.G.M.H.); the Department of Neurology, Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, the Netherlands (P.J.N.); Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands (E.B., Y.vdG.); and the Department of Health Policy and Management,..."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.G.","family":"Myriam Hunink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Program for the Assessment of Radiological Technology (ART Program), Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Department of Radiology, Erasmus MC-University Medical Center Rotterdam, the Netherlands (M.H.H.-K., M.G.M.H.); the Department of Neurology, Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, the Netherlands (P.J.N.); Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands (E.B., Y.vdG.); and the Department of Health Policy and Management,..."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199108153250701"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0140-6736(91)92916-P"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199811123392002"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(97)09292-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.172.4.10587159"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","first-page":"413","volume":"22","year":"2001","unstructured":"Koga M, Kimura K, Minematsu K, Yamaguchi T.
