We understand the immense effort students invest in mastering their craft. AT GENTLE TOUCH SONO, our goal is to ensure this dedication translates into career success.
Right Common Carotid Artery(Proximal, Mid, Distal)
We thoroughly image the right common carotid artery, scanning its, proximal, mid and distal segments. This assessment provides a comprehensive view of blood flow from its origin up to the bifurcation.
Left Common Carotid Artery(Proximal, Mid ,Distal)
similarly, the left common carotid artery is meticulously examined in its proximal, mid, and distal portions. This ensures a complete evaluation of the blood flow from the aortic arch toward the head.
Bifurcation
The carotid bifurcation , where the common carotid artery divides, is a crucial area for plaque formation and is carefully assessed. We analyze flow dynamics and vessel wall characteristics at this crucial junction.
Bulb
The carotid bulb, a slight dilation just before the internal carotid artery, is often a site for atherosclerotic disease. We specifically evaluate its morphology and any plaque presence or hemodynamic disturbances.
Right ICA (Internal Carotid Artery)
The right internal carotid artery, responsible for supplying blood to the brain, is comprehensively evaluated for patency and flow characteristics. We asses for any narrowing, blockages, or other anomalies that could impede cerebral flow.
Left ICA (Internal Carotid Artery)
The left internal carotid artery is likewise thoroughly examined to ensure proper blood supply to the brain. Its lumen and blood flow patterns are meticulously analyzed for any signs of disease or compromise.
Right ECA (External Carotid Artery)
The right external carotid artery, which supplies blood to the face and scalp, is visualized to differentiate it from the internal carotid artery and to rule out any significant disease. While less critical for cerebral perfusion, its assessment aids in a complete understanding of the carotid system.
Left ECA(External Carotid Artery)
Similarly, the left external carotid artery is imaged to confirm its anatomical relationship and to exclude any significant pathology. Its evaluation contributes to a thorough assessment of the overall carotid vasculature.
