Ultrasound of the carotid arteries is used to evaluate the main arteries of the neck that feed oxygenated blood to the brain. Sometimes, these vital arteries can be narrowed due to a build-up of plaque. Narrowing of the vessels can increase the risk of a stroke.
A carotid ultrasound scan can show if there is any narrowing or blockages in the neck arteries leading to your brain.
According to the NHS Choices, when carotid ultrasonography is needed, it should happen within 48 hours and this why our clients do not want to wait for NHS ultrasound appointment as the earlier diagnosis can lead to early treatment and sometimes save lives.
