About the test
Carotid Doppler is a specialized ultrasound test used to examine the carotid arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the brain. It uses sound waves to assess blood flow and detect narrowing (stenosis), blockages, or plaque buildup in the arteries. This test helps evaluate the risk of stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), and other vascular conditions. It is safe, painless, and does not involve radiation.
Preparation: Preparation for a Carotid Doppler is simple and usually does not require fasting. Patients are advised to wear comfortable clothing with a loose or open neckline to allow easy access to the neck area. Avoid wearing necklaces or tight collars on the day of the test. Regular medications can generally be continued unless your doctor provides specific instructions otherwise. The procedure typically takes about 15–30 minutes and is quick and comfortable.
