Carotid & Neck Vessels Doppler in Kirti Nagar
Advanced Vascular Imaging to Detect Plaque Buildup, Evaluate Brain Blood Supply, and Prevent Stroke Risks.
What is a Carotid & Neck Vessels Doppler?
A Carotid and Neck Vessels Doppler is a specialized, life-saving ultrasound scan that evaluates the major blood vessels in your neck, including the carotid arteries, vertebral arteries, and submandibular vessels. These crucial arteries are responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood directly to your brain and face. This non-invasive scan allows Dr. Neeraj Sharma to detect the buildup of fatty cholesterol plaques (atherosclerosis), identify dangerous narrowing (stenosis) of the arteries, and accurately assess your risk of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). It is a painless, radiation-free procedure that provides immediate diagnostic information to your referring physician.
Carotid & Neck Scan: What We Evaluate
Using high-frequency vascular ultrasound, Dr. Neeraj Sharma meticulously maps the major blood vessels in your neck to detect:
Cholesterol Plaques
Detecting the buildup of fatty cholesterol deposits (atherosclerosis) within the artery walls that can severely restrict blood flow.
Arterial Narrowing (Stenosis)
Accurately measuring the degree of narrowing in the carotid arteries to immediately assess the risk of a stroke or TIA (mini-stroke).
Vertebral Arteries Flow
Evaluating the critical blood flow in the vertebral arteries at the back of your neck, which supply the posterior portion of your brain.
Complex Vascular Anomalies
Comprehensive mapping of the submandibular and surrounding neck vessels to rule out aneurysms, dissections, or other structural issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare for a Carotid Doppler ultrasound?
There is no fasting or special preparation required for a Carotid Doppler scan. We recommend wearing a comfortable, loose-fitting shirt with an open or low neckline. Please avoid wearing high-collared shirts, turtlenecks, or heavy necklaces, as the doctor will need clear access to both sides of your neck.
Is the scan painful or uncomfortable?
The procedure is completely non-invasive and painless. Dr. Neeraj Sharma will apply a warm, water-based gel to your neck and gently move a small ultrasound probe over the area. You will feel mild pressure, and you may hear a “whooshing” sound from the machine, which is simply the amplified sound of your blood flowing.
How long does a neck vessels ultrasound take?
A comprehensive evaluation of the carotid and surrounding neck vessels requires precise mapping. The scan typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Since there is no sedation or radiation involved, you can resume your normal daily activities immediately afterward.
