The paper summarizes the results of examination of 30 individuals aged 27 to 66 years who had extracranial carotid lesions by using computed tomographic angiography (CTA), computed tomography, Doppler ultrasonography, power Doppler imaging, digital subtraction angiography. A procedure for CTA and analysis of data and for determination of the degree of stenosis has been developed. The potentialities of CTA in visualization of extracranial carotid diseases are shown.
