About Carotid Doppler

A Carotid Doppler, also known as a Carotid Ultrasound, is a non-invasive, painless diagnostic imaging procedure performed by a Radiologist. It uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create detailed images of the carotid arteries in your neck, which supply blood to your brain. The test assesses blood flow velocity and direction, identifying blockages, narrowing (stenosis), clots, or plaque buildup that could increase stroke risk. It is a crucial tool for evaluating patients with symptoms like transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes) or for screening individuals with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a history of smoking. The procedure is safe, involves no radiation, and provides real-time results to guide treatment decisions.

Key Highlights

Non-invasive and completely painless procedure with no needles or injections.Uses safe ultrasound technology, avoiding exposure to ionizing radiation.Provides real-time, high-resolution images of blood flow and artery structure.Critical for early detection of carotid artery disease, a major cause of stroke.Quick procedure, typically completed within 30 to 60 minutes.No sedation required; patients can resume normal activities immediately./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Recent transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke-like symptoms (e.g., sudden weakness, vision loss, slurred speech).
Presence of a bruit (an abnormal whooshing sound) heard over the carotid artery with a stethoscope.
Evaluation of known or suspected carotid artery stenosis (narrowing).
Follow-up for patients with previously treated carotid artery disease (stent or endarterectomy).
Pre-operative assessment before major heart or vascular surgery.
Patients with risk factors: high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking history, or family history of stroke.

How to prepare

PATIENT REVIEW

Emily Khan, a 58-year-old high school...

Emily Khan, a 58-year-old high school principal, had a history of well-managed hypertension. During a routine check-up, her primary care physician detected a faint, new bruit (whooshing sound) over her right carotid artery. Emily had no symptoms, but her father had a stroke at 65. The doctor, concerned about asymptomatic stenosis, recommended a Carotid Doppler to visualize blood flow and check for plaque buildup. During the procedure, the radiologist explained each step, applying cool gel and gently moving the transducer. Emily felt mild pressure but no pain. The scan revealed mild, non-flow-limiting plaque. The outcome was a huge relief. Emily's emotional journey shifted from quiet anxiety about a 'silent' threat to empowered calm. She left with a clear plan for intensified lifestyle management and annual monitoring, feeling proactive rather than fearful.
