Doppler ultrasound of the head and neck vessels is an ultrasound examination that allows for the assessment of the condition of the arteries and veins in the neck and head area. This method is used to diagnose vascular diseases that can lead to impaired blood supply to the brain, which is important for preventing strokes and other vascular disorders.
This method is used to diagnose vascular diseases that can lead to impaired blood supply to the brain, which is important for preventing strokes and other vascular disorders.
Doppler ultrasound of the head and neck vessels is prescribed for:
• Suspected atherosclerosis (formation of plaques in the vessels).
• Thrombosis and embolism.
• Headaches, dizziness, loss of consciousness.
• Neurological disorders, such as strokes or pre-stroke conditions.
• Monitoring the condition of vessels in people with chronic diseases (e. g. , hypertension, diabetes).
Ultrasound allows visualization of:
• The condition of major arteries and veins (carotid, vertebral).
• The presence of atherosclerotic plaques, clots, and other pathologies.
• Narrowing of vessels that may lead to impaired blood flow.
• Assessment of the speed and direction of blood flow (using Doppler sonography).
The ultrasound procedure of the head and neck vessels takes about 15-30 minutes and does not cause pain or discomfort. It is safe and does not require special preparation.
