Grading of carotid artery stenosis with computed tomography angiography: whether to use the narrowest diameter or the cross-sectional area

Abstract Objectives To compare the estimation of carotid artery stenosis by computed tomography angiography (CTA) based on cross-sectional area versus the smallest diameter measurement, and test the accuracy of both CTA measurements using color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) as a reference method.
