Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Carotid artery stenosis, usually caused by atherosclerosis, is a significant risk factor for stroke. Colour Doppler Ultrasonography (CDU) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) are essential imaging techniques for evaluating extracranial carotid arteries. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of CDU and MRA in evaluating extracranial carotid arteries in stroke patients. A prospective observational study was conducted on 60 stroke patients at the Radiology Department of Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University Medical College, Sangli. Adult patients aged 18‐60 years with a clinical diagnosis of stroke were included. CDU and MRA were used to evaluate the extracranial carotid arteries. CDU and MRA showed a significant correlation in detecting carotid artery stenosis. The degree of stenosis correlated with the severity of stroke symptoms. Statistical analysis indicated a significant association between risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension and carotid artery stenosis. Both CDU and MRA are effective in detecting carotid artery stenosis in stroke patients. Accurate assessment of stenosis can guide therapeutic decisions and improve patient outcomes.
