Carotid
Imaging the carotid arteries is "straight forward". In this chapter we will explain, which instrumentation you need and how a carotid ultrasound exam is performed. Here you will also review the anatomy of neck arteries and learn when a carotid scan is indicated in a point of care setting. After completion you will know how to assess the Intima Media Thickness (IMD) and detect plaques to assess cardiovascular risk. In addition, we cover the topic of "carotid artery dissection".
