At Balance Medical Care in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, our Carotid Ultrasound service provides a non-invasive, painless way to evaluate blood flow in the carotid arteries. This crucial test helps identify blockages or narrowing that could increase the risk of stroke or other cardiovascular complications, enabling timely intervention.
What Is Carotid Ultrasound?
A Carotid Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the carotid arteries in your neck. It helps detect plaque buildup, stenosis (narrowing), and other abnormalities that may lead to stroke or cardiovascular issues.
How Carotid Ultrasound Works
During the procedure, a small handheld device called a transducer is moved over the neck area. The transducer emits sound waves that bounce off the artery walls and blood flow, creating real-time images on a monitor. Physicians analyze these images to assess the presence of plaque, blockages, or turbulent blood flow, providing critical information for preventive or therapeutic interventions.
Conditions Diagnosed with Carotid Ultrasound
Carotid Ultrasound helps evaluate and manage conditions related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, including:
- Carotid artery stenosis (narrowing)
- Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) risk
- Atherosclerosis and plaque buildup
- High blood pressure and heart disease monitoring
- Circulatory system abnormalities
This quick, non-invasive test offers multiple advantages:
