What is a Carotid Artery Scan?

Carotid arteries are the main arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. A carotid artery scan is a non-invasive process. It is used to assess the health of carotid arteries located in the neck that supply blood to the brain. High-frequency sound waves or ultrasounds are used to create detailed images of the carotid arteries. Physicians can then evaluate blood flow and detect any narrowing or blockages in the artery caused by plaque buildup.


This scan is necessary for identifying potential risks for stroke or other cardiovascular events. Early detection helps in taking proactive steps to manage cardiovascular health.


A physician may prescribe a carotid artery scan when:

  • You have risk factors for cardiovascular disease
  • Special conditions like mini-strokes
  • Previous carotid artery issue

FAQs

A carotid artery scan is a non-invasive imaging test used to assess the health of the carotid arteries in the neck.
Carotid artery screening is recommended for individuals who may be at risk of carotid artery disease or stroke.
A handheld device called a transducer is used to emit sound waves and create images of the carotid arteries. Then they are used to assess the structure and blood flow for signs of blockages or abnormalities.
It depends on the condition, if something abnormal is detected, your physician may recommend further testing or treatment.
Carotid artery scans are generally safe, but rare risks include discomfort, allergic reactions, bruising, or extremely rare instances of carotid artery dissection.
