Carotid Doppler Ultrasound
A Swift, Painless Screening for Carotid Artery Stenosis
Carotid arteries are large blood vessels on each side of the neck, branching out from the aorta on the left and Brachiocephalic artery on the right side. They supply oxygen-rich blood to the forebrain, which is most of the brain volume. When the carotid artery becomes narrowed or obstructed, compromising blood flow to the brain, it can lead to facial droop, slurred speech, weakness in arms and legs, or difficulty speaking or listening.
