Normal Findings and Technical Aspects of Carotid Sonography
2016年3月5日 · The carotid bulb is a functional definition describing the widened portion of the distal CCA extending to the junction of the external and internal carotid arteries (the flow divider; Figure 7-3). The carotid sinus originates along the medial wall of the proximal ICA where it is adjacent to the external carotid artery (ECA).
Carotid Sonography: Protocol and Technical Considerations
2020年1月2日 · The carotid bulb extends from the CCA to the junction of the ICA and ECA and blends into the dilation of the internal carotid sinus opposite the flow divider. The true ICA has parallel walls above (distal to) the sinus. The degree to which the carotid arteries widen at the carotid bulb varies from one individual to another.
Carotid ultrasound - Mayo Clinic
2023年1月12日 · Carotid (kuh-ROT-id) ultrasound is a safe, noninvasive, painless procedure that uses sound waves to examine the blood flow through the carotid arteries. It also evaluates the thickness of the carotid artery wall and checks for clots.
Carotid Ultrasound: Purpose, Procedure and Results - Cleveland Clinic
A carotid ultrasound, or carotid duplex, is a painless, safe test that uses sound waves to make images of what your carotid arteries look like on the inside. By using the Doppler ultrasound technique, your healthcare provider can also see how well your blood travels through your two carotid arteries , which take blood to your brain.

Be aware of the possibility of a ‘Carotid bulb tumour’ which whilst relatively rare, is a clinically significant finding. This will occur at the bifurcation, outside the vessels, possibly exerting extrinsic compression on the carotid artery.

Carotid ultrasonography - Wikipedia
Carotid ultrasound is a low-cost, noninvasive, and accurate diagnostic imaging modality used to evaluate diseases of the carotid arteries. [2] It is most often used to diagnose carotid artery stenosis, a form of atherosclerosis, and has the capability to assess plaque morphology and characteristics. [1]
Sonographic Examination of the Carotid Arteries
2005年11月1日 · Ultrasonography (US) of the carotid arteries is a common imaging study performed for diagnosis of carotid artery disease. In the United States, carotid US may be the only diagnostic imaging modality performed before carotid endarterectomy. Therefore, the information obtained with carotid US must be reliable and reproducible.
