Diagnopein USG NECK DOPPLER Centre in Karad

USG Neck Doppler, also known as Carotid Doppler Ultrasound, is a non-invasive imaging test that evaluates blood flow through the carotid arteries and neck vessels using high-frequency ultrasound waves. This diagnostic procedure helps identify blockages, narrowing, or irregular blood flow patterns that can indicate an increased risk of stroke, atherosclerosis, or other vascular diseases. At our advanced imaging center in Karad, professional radiologists perform USG Neck Doppler scans with precision, ensuring early detection and accurate diagnosis.

This test is safe, painless, and does not use radiation. It plays a crucial role in vascular health monitoring, particularly for patients with high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes who are more prone to vascular complications.

Why USG Neck Doppler Is Needed

USG Neck Doppler is often recommended when patients experience symptoms such as dizziness, transient vision loss, frequent headaches, or sudden weakness—signs that may suggest reduced blood supply to the brain. It is also essential for monitoring individuals with a history of heart disease, stroke, or those at risk of carotid artery stenosis.

Doctors suggest Neck Doppler ultrasound to:

  1. Detect blockages or narrowing in carotid arteries

  2. Assess the risk of stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)

  3. Evaluate blood flow patterns in neck vessels

  4. Help plan and monitor treatment for vascular conditions

  5. Assess post-surgical outcomes or stent placement in neck arteries

By identifying abnormalities early, the USG Neck Doppler scan supports preventive care and helps avoid severe vascular complications.

Benefits of USG Neck Doppler

Undergoing a USG Neck Doppler test offers multiple benefits for both patients and healthcare providers.

  1. Non-invasive and completely radiation-free

  2. Provides real-time assessment of artery health

  3. Detects early stages of plaque formation or blockages

  4. Helps evaluate the risk of stroke or cerebrovascular disease

  5. Useful for follow-up after surgeries or stent implantation

  6. Provides instant, accurate results for clinical decision-making

Since the USG Neck Doppler procedure is quick and safe, it is often used as a first-line tool in vascular health screening and stroke prevention programs.

How the USG Neck Doppler Test Is Done

The USG Neck Doppler test is usually performed in an imaging center and takes about 20–30 minutes. No special preparation is required.

Procedure steps:

  1. The patient lies comfortably on the examination table.

  2. A clear gel is applied to the neck area.

  3. The radiologist moves an ultrasound probe over the carotid region.

  4. Real-time images of blood flow within the arteries appear on the monitor.

  5. Waveforms and Doppler readings help analyze the speed, direction, and consistency of blood flow.

Images are captured and interpreted to detect any abnormalities such as narrowing, plaque deposits, or turbulent blood flow indicating arterial stenosis.

Parameters Measured in USG Neck Doppler

Key diagnostic parameters analyzed in USG Neck Doppler include:

  1. Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV): Measures maximum blood flow during heartbeat.

  2. End-Diastolic Velocity (EDV): Determines flow rate between heartbeats.

  3. Resistive Index (RI): Evaluates vascular resistance.

  4. Intima-Media Thickness (IMT): Assesses artery wall health and plaque presence.

  5. Flow Direction and Turbulence: Detects reversed or irregular blood flow.

These measurable values help physicians assess the severity of stenosis, vascular health, and the overall risk of cerebrovascular events.
