The high information content of modern diagnostic systems has made it possible to expand the possibilities of performing intravascular and minimally invasive surgical interventions, taking into account the individual characteristics of anatomical variation. Aim. To evaluate the effect of the relative position of the main arteries of the neck on their morphological parameters using ultrasound sonography methods. Material and methods. The study of the main arteries among 865 people was carried out. Ultrasound devices Medison SonoAce R7, GE Logiq F6 were used to determine the type of relative position of vessels and determine morphometric characteristics. Results and discussion. A total of 1,730 vascular formations were examined on both sides. The classification of 5 variants for vascular complexes was used. In all groups, when compared among men, large values of artery diameters were noted. The predominance of the size of the common carotid arteries was noted for type B. In the group of men, the maximum values of the diameters of the external carotid arteries were noted for types B and G. Morphometry indicators were similar for arteries in groups D and D. The effective size of the external carotid artery was weakly correlated with gender. The proportions of the internal carotid artery in groups G and D were 76%, among other variants 71 – 73%. Conclusions. Assessing the mutual ratio of morphometric values of arteries in the group of women, the size ratio was slightly different for type B, the median value was 72%. The presented information expands our understanding of the role of variants of the development of the main arteries in the field of bifurcation of the common carotid artery. They make it possible to improve the methods of software processing of clinical information using specialized software.
