Carotid ultrasound

A carotid ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the carotid arteries in the neck. These arteries supply blood to the brain, and the ultrasound helps detect blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities that could increase the risk of stroke or other cardiovascular issues. This safe and painless procedure is commonly used to evaluate blood flow and monitor vascular health.
