About this test
An imaging test in which a technician moves a handheld probe, covered in gel, along both sides of the neck. Sound waves form pictures of the carotid arteries, which carry blood to the brain.
It looks at the artery walls for plaque, a fatty buildup that can narrow the vessel. Doctors use it to assess narrowing of the neck arteries, which is linked to stroke risk.
