A member asked:
What does this mean: impression: minimal plaque within the right carotid bulb with no radiology report hemodynamically significant stenosis.

Good news. : There is only mild hardening of the arteries or plaque in your carotid arteries at this point. Try to keep the plaque from getting worse by stopping smoking and keeping your blood pressure under control. Your doctor will help you. He or she may have you take an aspirin daily depending on your symptoms. If diabetic keep blood sugar under control.

No severe disease: "Minimal plaque" and "no hemodynamically signifcant stenosis" suggest that you don't have any significant carotid artery disease or plaque blockage on the right. I am not sure about the left since you didn't comment on that. I am also not sure about the "no radiology report" either. I would suggest that you talk to the doctor that ordered the exam to give you an official interpretation.
