The Ultrasound-Doppler Carotid scan at Sooriya Diagnostic is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to evaluate the blood flow in the carotid arteries, which are the primary blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. This test is crucial for detecting conditions such as carotid artery stenosis, plaque buildup, and other vascular abnormalities that may increase the risk of stroke or other cardiovascular issues.

During the procedure, the Doppler technology measures the speed and direction of blood flow in the carotid arteries. It helps doctors assess whether there are any blockages or narrowing of the arteries that could affect blood supply to the brain, potentially leading to serious complications like stroke.

The scan is particularly beneficial for individuals with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a family history of stroke or heart disease. It is also recommended for patients who experience symptoms like dizziness, weakness, or vision problems, which may indicate compromised blood flow.

At Sooriya Diagnostic, we prioritize the highest quality imaging to provide accurate and reliable results, ensuring that your vascular health is closely monitored and treated accordingly.
