FAQs

Can Doppler Carotid detect carotid artery narrowing?

Yes. Doppler measurements of blood-flow velocity and the appearance of the artery help assess the presence and severity of carotid stenosis.

Can Doppler Carotid be used to monitor treatment?

Yes. It may be used for follow-up of known carotid artery disease and after procedures such as carotid surgery or stent placement, according to the treating doctor's recommendation.

Will I need CT Angiography or another test after Doppler Carotid?

Depending on the Doppler findings and clinical situation, your doctor may recommend CT Angiography, MR Angiography, or other vascular evaluation for further assessment.

Do I need any preparation before Doppler Carotid?

Usually, no special preparation is required. It is helpful to wear clothing that allows easy access to the neck and to remove necklaces or other accessories around the examination area.
