Carotid Doppler

Carotid Doppler is a non-invasive imaging technique used to assess blood flow in the carotid arteries, which are located in the neck and supply blood to the brain. It utilizes sound waves to create detailed images of the carotid arteries and measures the speed and direction of blood flow. Carotid Doppler is commonly used to detect and evaluate conditions such as carotid artery stenosis (narrowing), plaque buildup, and blood clots, which can increase the risk of stroke or other vascular events. This procedure provides valuable information for healthcare providers to assess cardiovascular health and guide treatment decisions.
