Color Doppler carotid is an imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the carotid arteries in the neck which carry blood from the heart to the brain.
"This test is done to check the circulation in the large arteries in the neck. This exam shows any blockage in the veins by a blood clot or “thrombus” formation."
