How is an ultrasound of carotids done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carotid ultrasound: Carotid ultrasound is performed using a gel on the skin and by applying a probe to the neck adjacent to the carotid arteries. The probe uses sound waves to measure the width of the vessel, the velocity of blood flow, and other variables.
