What a Carotid Ultrasound Can Tell You — and Where to Get One in Pasco County

If you’ve been told you may be at risk for stroke or have symptoms like dizziness, high blood pressure, or carotid bruit, your provider may recommend a carotid ultrasound — a simple, non-invasive scan that can help identify issues before they become serious.

At Panacea Ultrasound Services, we offer carotid Doppler exams in Dade City, FL with transparent self-pay pricing and no referral needed.

What Is a Carotid Ultrasound?

A carotid ultrasound (also called carotid Doppler) uses sound waves to look at the carotid arteries in your neck — the major blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to your brain.

It’s used to detect:

  • Plaque buildup (atherosclerosis)

  • Narrowing of arteries (stenosis)

  • Blood clots

  • Stroke risk

Clinical Indications for a Diagnostic Carotid Ultrasound:

Neurological Symptoms (TIA or Stroke Warning Signs):

  • Transient ischemic attack (TIA)

  • Sudden vision loss in one eye (amaurosis fugax)

  • Recent stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA)

  • Unilateral weakness, numbness, or paralysis

  • Difficulty speaking or slurred speech (aphasia/dysarthria)

  • Dizziness or syncope (fainting)

Audible Bruit or Suspected Vascular Abnormality:

  • Carotid bruit on auscultation

  • Suspected carotid artery stenosis or occlusion

  • Evaluation of pulsatile neck mass

Follow-up and Monitoring:

  • Follow-up of previously diagnosed carotid artery stenosis

  • Monitoring after carotid endarterectomy or stenting

  • Known atherosclerosis in other vascular beds

Risk Factor Assessment (High Risk for Stroke):

  • History of coronary artery disease or peripheral arterial disease

  • Hypertension

  • Diabetes mellitus

  • Hyperlipidemia

  • Tobacco use

  • Family history of stroke or atherosclerosis

Preoperative Evaluation:

  • Pre-surgical clearance for high-risk cardiac or vascular procedures
