| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Peak systolic velocity (PSV) is measured with pulse-wave (PW) Doppler with angle correction in patients with internal carotid artery stenosis (ICAS). However, the correlation between conventional angiography and PSV shows considerable scattering. We hypothesized that measuring PSV without angle correction would lead to better inter-rater reliability. This hypothesis was tested using a sector probe and continuous-wave (CW) Doppler without angle correction. METHODS: Consecutive patients with more than 50% ICAS were enrolled from a prospective database. PSV was measured with PW Doppler with angle correction (PW PSV) and CW Doppler without angle correction (CW PSV) by 2 examiners. The inter-rater reliabilities of PW PSV and CW PSV were analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation test. RESULTS: A total of 37 ICAS sites (median 67 [interquartile range 57-78] % stenosis) were enrolled. Measuring PSV using a sector probe insonating nearly parallel to the flow was feasible in all cases. Inter-rater reproducibility of CW PSV (Spearman's ρ = .810) was similar to that of PW PSV (Spearman's ρ = .796). When limited to patients with a PSV greater than 200 cm/s with both PW Doppler examinations (25 ICAS sites), inter-rater reliability was relatively higher for CW PSV (Spearman's ρ = .674) than for PW PSV (Spearman's ρ = .423). CONCLUSIONS: Measuring PSV with CW Doppler using a sector probe was feasible. Inter-rater reliability was similar between PW Doppler with angle correction and CW Doppler without angle correction in evaluating PSV in patients with ICAS. CW Doppler appears to have better inter-rater reproducibility than PW Doppler in assessing high PSV. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
