Carotid Ultrasound

Stroke risk or dizziness? Same-day carotid ultrasound in Manhattan.

A carotid duplex ultrasound examines the carotid arteries in your neck — the main blood vessels supplying your brain. It detects plaque buildup and narrowing (stenosis) that can increase your risk of stroke. The test is non-invasive, takes about 30 minutes, and requires no preparation.
