摘要：

Although conventional angiography has traditionally been the preoperative study of choice before carotid endarterectomy, alternative noninvasive methods, particularly MR angiography, are being used increasingly for evaluation of the carotid bifurcation [1, 2]. In this essay, we illustrate the limitations of and artifacts associated with two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography vs conventional angiography when assessing disease of the carotid bifurcation.
