Noninvasive diagnosis of vertebral artery disease is difficult, but the combined use of Doppler ultrasonography and dynamic radionuclide studies, with measurement of the carotid-basilar delay (CBD), increases the sensitivity and can indicate the level (cervical or distal) of the lesion. Forty patients with cerebrovascular disease were studied by continuous wave Doppler and CBD and the results were compared with vertebral angiograms. The mean normal CBD value was determined for a control group of 18 patients. Sensitivity and specificity were 87.5 per cent and 75 per cent, respectively, for Doppler alone, and 100 per cent and 60 per cent for combined Doppler and CBD.
