Carotid Ultrasound (Neck Blood Vessel Scan)
A carotid ultrasound is a safe and quick method to assess the health of your carotid arteries — the two main blood vessels located on each side of your neck. These arteries are crucial as they carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the brain.
Why is this scan important?
If there is a blockage or narrowing (stenosis) caused by plaque buildup (fat and cholesterol), blood flow to the brain can be affected, increasing the risk of:
Stroke
Mini-stroke (Transient Ischemic Attack – TIA)
Sudden dizziness or fainting
Memory problems or confusion
You are encouraged to undergo this scan if you:
Are 50 years old or above
Have a family history of stroke or heart disease
Have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes
Are a smoker or former smoker
Experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision in one eye, speech difficulty, or numbness on one side of the body
Benefits of this scan:
Detects early risk before a stroke occurs
Suitable for health screening even if you have no symptoms
Painless and requires no special preparation
Scanning process:
You will lie down comfortably
Ultrasound gel will be applied to your neck
A transducer device will be used to scan the blood vessels
Real-time images of your blood vessels will be recorded and assessed
