What is Carotid Artery Ultrasound Screening?
Your carotid arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your brain. Blockages or plaque buildup in these arteries can silently increase your risk of stroke or heart disease, often without warning.
A Carotid Artery Ultrasound with Color and Spectral Doppler is a non-invasive, painless test that shows the structure and blood flow of your carotid arteries in real time.
Benefits of Getting a Carotid Artery Ultrasound Screening Test:
- Early Detection of Plaque and Narrowing
Even if you feel healthy, plaque can accumulate silently. Detecting it early allows you to take action before serious complications occur.
- Visualize Blood Flow with Doppler Technology
Color and spectral Doppler show how blood moves through your arteries, highlighting restricted flow or turbulence that may indicate arterial disease.
- Reduce Risk of Stroke and Cardiovascular Events
Identifying arterial changes early gives you the chance to modify lifestyle, optimize treatment, and prevent life-threatening events.
- Safe, Quick, and Non-Invasive
The test is painless, radiation-free, and takes just minutes, giving you high-quality insights in a convenient setting.
Why It Matters?
Your carotid arteries are the highway to your brain. Knowing their condition today gives you the power to protect your brain and heart for the future.
