Figure 1 (A, B, D) Methodology for stenosis measurement on (A) maximum intensity projection (MIP) parasagittal, (B) axial source (AxS), and (D) axial oblique (AxO) images. (C) AxO multiplanar reformats (MPR) were created by the reading neuroradiologists by aligning the AxO plane perpendicular to the long axis of the residual carotid bulb lumen at the site of tightest stenosis.
