What is a Carotid Echodoppler?
A Carotid Echodoppler, also known as Carotid Ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the carotid arteries in your neck. This test evaluates the blood flow through these arteries and helps detect potential issues that could impact your cardiovascular health.
Why is a Carotid Echodoppler Important?
- Detecting Carotid Artery Disease: The Carotid Echodoppler helps identify blockages or narrowing in the carotid arteries, which can increase the risk of stroke.
- Assessing Stroke Risk: Regular monitoring of the carotid arteries can aid in predicting and preventing strokes by identifying potential risks early.
- Evaluating Plaque Build-Up: The test detects atherosclerotic plaque, which can restrict blood flow and heighten the risk of cardiovascular events.
- Monitoring Existing Conditions: It is useful for monitoring the progression of existing vascular conditions and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments.
Procedure:
The Carotid Echodoppler procedure is simple and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:
- Preparation: You may be asked to lie down on an examination table. No special preparation is usually required.
- Gel Application: A small amount of gel is applied to your neck to improve the quality of the ultrasound images.
- Ultrasound Probe: A handheld device called a transducer is gently moved over your neck to capture images of the carotid arteries. The procedure is painless and typically takes about 30 minutes.
- Image Capture: The transducer emits sound waves that reflect off the blood cells and arterial walls, producing detailed images of blood flow and artery structure.
- Analysis: The images are analyzed by our specialists to provide a thorough assessment of your vascular health.
