Edinburgh Imaging is delighted to see a publication co-written by Prof Joanna Wardlaw & Dr Francesca Chappell has been ranked 53rd in the top most cited diagnostic study meta-analyses in the field of radiology. Image Accuracy of ultrasound, CT angiography, MR angiography, & contrast-enhanced MR angiography in detecting 70-99% stenosis in the carotid arteries; results for symptomatic arteries, asymptomatic arteries, all arteries, & estimates from a systematic review. A recent bibliometric analysis on the most cited meta-analyses of diagnostic studies in the whole field of radiology, ranked Professor Joanna Wardlaw & Dr Francesca Chappell’s 2009 paper as 53rd. Yaxley, KL et al. The 100 top-cited meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy in radiology journals: a bibliometric analysis. Insights into Imaging. 11 (1) 2020. Chappell FM, et al. Carotid artery stenosis: accuracy of noninvasive tests--individual patient data meta-analysis. Radiology. 2009;251(2):493-502. Dr Francesca Chappell, Senior Medical Statistician, explains the publication aims & outcomes: “We were assessing ultrasound, CT, & MRI in the diagnosis of carotid stenosis – a major risk factor for recurrent stroke in people who have had a recent transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke. Timing is of the essence in treating carotid stenosis, but the availability of ultrasound, CT, & MRI varies hugely. Our paper helps clinicians decide which imaging to use.” Related links Professor Joanna Wardlaw Dr Francesca Chappell Stroke What is an ultrasound scan? What is a CT scan? What is a MR scan?
