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

Brought my teenage son for a shoulder ultrasound after a football injury. Dr. Avinash engaged him in the process, letting him hold the probe and explaining how ultrasound waves work. Turned a stressful visit into an educational experience.
