title: Carotid ultrasound.
abstract: Carotid duplex ultrasonography is a noninvasive technique for hemodynamically significant stenosis detection and cardiovascular risk estimation. Anatomic information of carotid arteries is provided by B-mode scanning. Hemodynamic features are displayed color-flow and pulsed Doppler imaging. Examination technique, normal carotid anatomy and flow pattern, and potential limitations are presented.
