Özet

Background: To date, it has been suggested that there may be many genetic, environmental, and vascular factors that affect hand preference. In previous studies evaluating the relationship between cerebral dominance and hand preference, carotid and vertebral artery (VA) Doppler ultrasonography (USG) was generally preferred; and these studies only measured VA diameters. Unlike other studies, we aimed to reevaluate the relationship between hand preference and cerebral vascular dominance by measuring VA and internal carotid artery (ICA) diameters. In addition, we used carotid and VA computed tomography (CT) angiography instead of Doppler USG.
