Overview
Ultrasound/doppler study of the carotid arteries can be used to detect carotid stenosis or dissection of the precerebral arteries.
Ultrasound
Doppler ultrasound of carotid arteries may assess the degree of carotid stenosis, hence may help in determining the medical or surgical treatment to prevent recurrent episodes of ischemic stroke.[1]
