Carotid artery ultrasound screening

Service Description

A carotid artery ultrasound screening is a safe, non-invasive procedure used to evaluate blood flow and check for narrowing or blockages in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. During the exam, a small amount of gel is applied to the neck, and a handheld transducer is gently moved over the area to create real-time images of the arteries. This quick and painless procedure helps detect potential risks for stroke and other vascular conditions early, allowing for timely medical intervention.
