Abstract:

OBJECTIVE

To compare sensitivity and specificity of various methods for quantitative assessment of carotid artery tortuosity.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study included 41 patients with carotid artery tortuosity confirmed by CT angiography.

RESULTS

All 3 mathematical models for quantitative assessment of carotid artery tortuosity demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity: model 1 — 80.0% sensitivity and 100.0% specificity; model 2 — 90.5% sensitivity and 93.3% specificity; model 3 — 86.7% sensitivity and 93.3% specificity.

CONCLUSION

All three mathematical models are valid for quantitative assessment of carotid artery tortuosity. The third method is the most convenient and quickest, as it requires only two parameters for calculation.

Keywords:

tortuosity
internal carotid arteries
tortuosity index
