Three-dimensional computed tomographic analysis of variations of the carotid artery

Although the terms tortuous, coiling, and kinking have been used to describe the curvature of the carotid artery, the prevalence rates of these patterns have differed among studies. We morphologically evaluated the characteristics of the carotid artery by means of threedimensional computed tomography (3DCT) to clarify the prevalence of tortuosity, coiling, and kinking. We present our results and discuss the clinical impact of our findings.
