Spectral phonoangiography, a noninvasive method for measurement of the residual-lumen diameter of carotid stenosis by bruit analysis, was compared with x-ray angiography and direct measurement of the pathological specimen at carotid endarterectomy in 39 bifurcations from 36 patients. In six studies, the bruit was too faint to analyze. In 31 of the other 33 studies, the phonoangiogram predicted the residual-lumen diameter to within 0.5 mm of the measured value. Of the 39 contrast angiograms, 35 showed residual lumens within 0.5 mm of the value measured in the specimen, two showed lumens between 0.5 and 1 mm, and the sizes of two could not be estimated because of vessel overlap in all planes. Spectral phonoangiography and contrast angiography are both accurate methods for evaluation of carotid stenosis. Since phonoangiography is noninvasive, it may be of particular value in determining the natural history in patients with carotid bruits.
