Procedure Details

What is Carotid Ultrasound/Doppler?

This painless test uses high-frequency sound waves in order to create pictures of the inside of a patient’s carotid arteries. These arteries are located on each side of your neck and are divided into both internal and external parts. The internal part supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain, while the external carries it to the face and neck. 

This type of test will show whether plaque, a waxy substance, is built up in these arteries. If left undetected, it can harden or rupture. Plaque itself reduces the flow of blood to the brain, which can be life-threatening. A rupture can lead to a blood clot, and in turn, a stroke. 

During this type of ultrasound, the structure of the arteries is evaluated. A doctor may also suggest a Doppler ultrasound where the movement of the blood through the blood vessels is also looked at closely. In order to assess one’s blood flow problem, both tests may need to be administered.

What did you like most about using MDsave?

The voucher showed up

What could we do to improve?

It may have been the ultimate provider, Grabury Medical Center, that was horrible. They had the vouchers but not the orders. They wouldn’t start the procedures until they received the orders.

What could we do to improve?

When they ran my payment it was ran twice and froze 490 dollars twice in my account. I didn't get it back for 5 days and it cast me a lot of frustration
