Cerebrovascular Evaluations
Cerebrovascular diseases are usually the result of conditions related to the blood vessels. Cerebrovascular evaluations help understand any disruption in the proper brain functioning. Cerebrovascular diagnostic imaging tests are a popular technique neurosurgeons use to inspect the brain tissue, arteries, and vessels in and around the brain. Technological advancements have made non-invasive diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases possible. Ultrasound provides accurate images quickly, simplifying the examination and accelerating the treatment procedure.
Stroke, vertebral stenosis, carotid stenosis, vascular malformation, aneurysms, and intracranial stenosis are some cerebrovascular diseases that imaging can help evaluate. Carotid ultrasound and Doppler ultrasound are standard methods used for cerebrovascular evaluations. These tests are non-invasive and painless and have no known risk associated with them. Cardiovascular Specialty Imaging has the best professionals to ensure faster results and better patient care.
Why perform Cerebrovascular Evaluations
In a cerebrovascular evaluation, a healthcare provider extensively evaluates the cerebrovascular circulation. This comprehensive evaluation helps detect obstructions in the vertebral, carotid, and subclavian arteries. The ultrasound is performed to detect blood clots, plaque ulceration, carotid body tumor, fibromuscular dysplasia, aneurysm, hemorrhage, and other issues with the blood flow. A Doppler ultrasound helps evaluate the superficial and deep venous systems.
A medical healthcare provider can order a cerebrovascular evaluation if there is a stroke, visual disturbances, and symptoms of vertebrobasilar insufficiency, like confusion, headache, imbalance, and loss of consciousness. Diagnostic imaging tests can identify most cerebrovascular problems, which can help a healthcare provider understand the problem correctly and suggest the best treatment solution for faster patient recovery.
