Measuring stenosis by NASCET criteria involves first identifying and measuring the area of narrowest luminal diameter (a) and then measuring the luminal diameter in the normal more distal cervical ICA (b). These measurements should be made in plane with the vessel, accounting for vessel tortuosity. NASCET stenosis percentage equals (b-a)/b.
