==Ultrasound Criteria for Carotid Artery Stenosis==
*Normal:
**ICA PSV is less than 125 cm/sec and no plaque or intimal thickening is visible sonographically.
**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio < 2.0 and ICA EDV < 40 cm/sec.
*<50% ICA stenosis:
**ICA PSV is less than 125 cm/sec and plaque or intimal thickening is visible sonographically.
**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio < 2.0 and ICA EDV < 40 cm/sec.
*50%–69% ICA stenosis:
**ICA PSV is 125–230 cm/sec and plaque is visible sonographically.
**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio of 2.0–4.0 and ICA EDV of 40–100 cm/sec.
*>=70% ICA stenosis but less than near occlusion
**ICA PSV is greater than 230 cm/sec and visible plaque and luminal narrowing are seen at gray-scale and color Doppler US (The higher the Doppler parameter lies above the threshold of 230 cm/sec, the greater the likelihood of severe disease).
**Additional criteria include ICA/CCA PSV ratio > 4 and ICA EDV > 100 cm/sec.
*Vear occlusion of the ICA:
**Velocity parameters may not apply, since velocities may be high, low, or undetectable.
**Diagnosis is established primarily by demonstrating a markedly narrowed lumen at color or power Doppler US (35).
*Total occlusion of the ICA
**No detectable patent lumen at gray-scale US and no flow with spectral, power, and color Doppler US. <ref>Edward G. Grant, Carol B. Benson, Gregory L. Moneta, Andrei V. Alexandrov, J.
