Carotid Duplex Ultrasound
At ScanMe, our Carotid Duplex Ultrasound service provides a safe, non-invasive assessment of the carotid arteries, the two major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. Using high-frequency sound waves and Doppler ultrasound technology, this scan assesses the structure of the carotid arteries, the flow of blood through them and any narrowing or plaque build-up that could increase the risk of stroke. It is commonly used to investigate symptoms such as dizziness, transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs), stroke symptoms or to assess reduced blood flow to the brain. As ultrasound does not use radiation, it is a safe and effective way to assess your vascular health. We offer private Carotid Duplex Ultrasound appointments at our Mullingar, Longford and Sligo clinics, with all scans performed by experienced sonographers and reported by a Consultant Radiologist.

What does a Carotid Duplex Ultrasound detect?
A Carotid Duplex Ultrasound can detect a range of conditions affecting the carotid arteries and blood flow to the brain, including:
- Narrowing of the carotid arteries (carotid artery stenosis)
- Fatty plaque build-up (atherosclerosis)
- Reduced or restricted blood flow
- Complete or partial blockages
- Changes following a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
- Other abnormalities affecting the carotid arteries
The scan provides valuable information to help diagnose carotid artery disease, assess your risk of stroke and guide any further treatment or investigations if required.
