Non-Invasive Stroke Risk Screening and Vascular Health Assessment

At Total Health Medical Centre, we offer high-quality Carotid Doppler Ultrasound scans to evaluate blood flow in the carotid arteries—the major arteries in your neck that supply blood to your brain. This safe, painless, and non-invasive test plays a vital role in identifying narrowing (stenosis), blockages, or plaque build-up that could increase your risk of stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).

Our experienced sonographers use advanced Doppler technology to visualize blood flow and assess any abnormalities in real time, giving you critical insights into your vascular health.

What Does the Carotid Doppler Ultrasound Detect?

• Narrowing of the carotid arteries due to plaque buildup

• Reduced or turbulent blood flow to the brain

• Carotid artery occlusion or stenosis

• Risk factors for stroke and TIAs

• Effectiveness of previous vascular treatments (e.g., stents or surgery)

Who Should Consider a Carotid Doppler?

This test is commonly recommended for individuals who:

• Have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol

• Are over the age of 50

• Smoke or have a history of smoking

• Have had a stroke or mini-stroke (TIA)

• Experience symptoms such as dizziness, loss of balance, or visual disturbances

• Have a family history of vascular or cerebrovascular disease

What to Expect During the Scan

The test typically takes 30–45 minutes. You’ll lie on your back while a gel is applied to your neck. A handheld probe is moved gently over the skin to visualize the carotid arteries and measure blood flow velocity.

There is no radiation, no injections, and no downtime—you can resume normal activities right after.
