Carotid Doppler

Carotid Doppler is performed using high-resolution ultrasound imaging on the Mindray Nuewa i9 system, enabling detailed evaluation of blood flow in the carotid arteries supplying the brain.

Carotid Doppler study is recommended for assessment of cerebrovascular circulation and stroke risk:

• Dizziness or giddiness

• History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)

• Hypertension or vascular risk factors

• Suspected carotid artery stenosis

• Evaluation of plaque formation

• Pre-operative or routine vascular assessment

🔍 What Does Carotid Doppler Evaluate

• Carotid arteries – stenosis or narrowing

• Plaque characteristics – presence and extent

• Blood flow velocity – peak systolic and diastolic flow

• Vascular lumen – patency or obstruction

• Risk of cerebrovascular events
