Carotid doppler

Introduction: Carotid Doppler is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to assess the blood flow in the carotid arteries, which are major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. This test is essential for identifying and evaluating blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities in these arteries. Carotid Doppler is a crucial tool in the early detection and prevention of stroke and other cardiovascular conditions.

Our Carotid Doppler Service:

we offer state-of-the-art Carotid Doppler services with a team of highly skilled and experienced healthcare professionals. Our commitment to patient care and the latest technology ensures accurate and reliable results.

Indications:

1. Stroke Risk Assessment: Carotid Doppler helps in assessing the risk of stroke by identifying the presence of plaques or stenosis (narrowing) in the carotid arteries.

2. Cardiovascular Disease Evaluation: It aids in the early detection and evaluation of atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries.

3. Preoperative Assessment: Carotid Doppler can be a crucial part of the preoperative evaluation for patients undergoing heart surgery or other procedures that may affect blood flow to the brain.

4. Symptom Evaluation: For patients experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, vision problems, or speech difficulties, Carotid Doppler can help diagnose underlying vascular issues.

The Procedure:

1. Patient Preparation: Patients are advised to wear comfortable clothing and remove any jewelry or accessories around the neck.

2. Ultrasound Imaging: A specially trained sonographer will apply a warm, water-based gel to the skin over the carotid arteries and use a handheld device (transducer) to create images of the arteries.

3. Data Analysis: The recorded images are analyzed by our medical team to assess the blood flow and any abnormalities in the carotid arteries.

4. Results and Consultation: After the procedure, our medical professionals will discuss the findings with the patient, provide recommendations, and, if necessary, create a treatment plan.
