Carotid Scan
I am going to finally attach some images that I have scanned. I did this exam a few weeks ago on a patient with a history of carotid stenosis. At my location a normal carotid exam starts with the transverse images of black and white images of the proximal, mid, distal, bulb and bifurcation(b/w and color) of the CCA. Next we move on the sagital images. These consit of proximal, mid, distal CCA in black and white, color and with doppler. Then the bulb in b/w and color, followed by the ECA in black and white, color and doppler. Then the ICA prox, mid and distal in b/w, color and doppler. Finally followed up with the vertebral and subclavian in b/w, color and doppler. In our system there is a vascular calculation, where you input the different velocities and print the report to provide the doc with that information. Overall, I do like doing this exam. They can be a bit challenging still for me, but I am getting better with each one.
