What Does This Carotid Ultrasound Report Indicate?

Posted on Fri, 24 Jun 2016

Question: I had a carotid ultrasound today. My bp was very high when I got there...lowered to 180/74 after test. When I got home, I got a call from clinic saying they needed more images. Iam trying not to be anxious. What does this mean?

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

There could be a shortage of adequate images for explaining the findings or perhaps poor quality of image compared with the actual hands on finding in the carotid Doppler ultrasound.

There is no need to be anxious. Its a non invasive test that gets reported early as well. To ease your anxiety , you may share the carotid ultrasound report with me and I can guide you along the way.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
