"A carotid ultrasound is a safe, painless procedure that uses sound waves to examine the blood flow through the carotid arteries. The carotid arteries deliver blood from the heart to the brain. Carotid ultrasound tests allow radiographers to identify blocked or narrowed carotid arteries, which can increase the risk of stroke."

Being able to view vessels and the flow of blood, such as with a carotid ultrasound, is a great way for doctors to find narrowed vessels or other abnormalities in blood flow. TTell the interviewer, not only the part of the body this ultrasound examines, but what it is designed to detect.
