Risk Factors That Make Your Doctor Recommend a Carotid Doppler
A Carotid Doppler is a minimally invasive ultrasound test that evaluates blood flow through the carotid arteries on each side of the neck. These arteries carry oxygenated blood to the brain, making their health vital for proper brain function. Over time, plaque can accumulate inside these arteries, leading to strokes and other serious complications if left unchecked. Primary care doctors from Southern Maryland Medical Group can recommend a Carotid Doppler when certain risk factors suggest insufficient blood flow or damage.
