Carotid Doppler
Is an ultrasound Doppler that shows images with blood in movement, in this way the presence of obstruction in the arteries resulting from cholesterol plaque formation can be detected and it is also used to diagnose malformations, aneurysms or vascular tumors.
To perform the ultrasound, a lubricating gel is applied to the skin, a special transducer is used, which is mobilized on the patient's neck following the path of the carotid arteries, through which images are generated and projected on a monitor or screen.
- The procedure takes between 15-30 minutes
- It´s painless, non-invasive, and has no side effects.
- The patient will be provided a detailed report with the results
What patients need a carotid Doppler?
All those patients who have suffered a transient ischemic stroke, cerebral ischemic event and all the patients who are at risk of developing a cerebral ischemic event due to risk factors like cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes.
*This procedure doesn’t require preparation
