The accuracy, and possible clinical application of non-invasive ultra sound imaging of the cervical carotid, artery in patients with cerebrovascular disease has been investigated by comparing a pulsed multi-channel directional Doppler imaging devise (“MAVIS” - GEC Medical) with conventional carotid angiography. Of 23 normal or minimally diseased internal carotid arteries only 4 appeared as stenosed on Doppler angiography, the other 19 were normal; of 14 stenosed arteries only 1 appeared normal on imaging,1 appeared occluded end 12 showed clear images of stenosis; all 6 occluded arteries appeared occluded on ultra sound imaging. It was difficult to obtain satisfactory images of the external carotid arteries in all cases. The additional facility to display a velocity flow profile at preselected points along the arterialimage should increase the usefulness of this technique, particularly when there is only minor atheromatous irregularity or ulceration, and such a device will be briefly disrussed.

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.
