About Color Doppler – Carotids
The Color Doppler Carotid Scan is a non-invasive Ultrasound examination of the neck arteries, or Carotids, on both sides of the neck. They are arteries that bring oxygen-rich blood to the brain.
It employs high-frequency sound waves and Doppler technology to measure blood flow, identify the presence of plaque buildup, the narrowing of blood flow (stenosis), and other abnormalities of the blood vessels that can impact brain circulation.
Our level of quality and strict adherence to state-of-the-art ultrasound technology in the performance of carotid Doppler studies ensures accuracy and reliability.
What is a Color Doppler Carotid Scan?
The Color Doppler Carotid Scan uses conventional ultrasound with Doppler technology to show the carotid arteries as well as the velocity and direction in which blood flows. The scan is used to detect abnormalities like plaque formation, narrowing of the arteries, complete blockage, or blood clots. It is broadly employed in the evaluation of an individual who is at risk of stroke and other cerebral vascular ailments.
Common Reasons for a Color Doppler Carotid Scan
- Evaluation of carotid artery stenosis (narrowing)
- Assessment of plaque buildup due to atherosclerosis
- Investigation of dizziness or fainting episodes
- Evaluation after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke
- Assessment of carotid artery blockage
- Investigation of reduced blood flow to the brain
- Follow-up after carotid artery surgery or stenting
- Screening in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol
- Monitoring patients with known vascular disease
Conditions Evaluated with Color Doppler – Carotids
Carotid Artery Stenosis
Detects narrowing of the carotid arteries caused by plaque deposits, helping assess the risk of stroke.
Atherosclerosis
Evaluates fatty plaque accumulation inside the arteries and determines its severity.
Carotid Artery Occlusion
Identifies complete or partial blockage that may reduce blood supply to the brain.
Post-Surgical Evaluation
Monitors blood flow after carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting.
