Types of presteal waveforms in vertebral artery
| Type | Flow pattern | Degree of stenosis(%) |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | Two systolic peaks with flow velocity at the nadir of the notch greater than the flow velocity at the end diastole | 43 |
| Type 2 | Two systolic peaks with flow velocity at the nadir of the notch equal to or less than the flow velocity at the end diastole | 53 |
| Type 3 | Two systolic peaks with flow velocity at the nadir reaches the baseline | 72 |
| Type 4 | Two systolic peaks with flow velocity at the nadir below the baseline | 80 |
