Carotid Scan (Stroke Screening)

Price

RM 150.00 - 180.00


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
