Carotid Ultrasound

What is a carotid ultrasound?

A carotid ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging test that uses sound waves to evaluate blood flow through the carotid arteries in the neck, detecting plaque buildup, blockages, or narrowing that can increase the risk of stroke. By providing a detailed picture of the artery walls and blood flow, this quick and painless test gives our cardiologists the information needed to assess your stroke risk and determine the most effective course of treatment.
