Ultrasound of carotid arteries in Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic
About the clinic
Ultrasound of carotid arteries is available at Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey. This diagnostic examination uses Doppler sonography to check the vessels for narrowing or plaques that could lead to strokes. The clinic provides this imaging on-site, allowing patients to complete their cardiovascular check-up in one location.
Examined Areas and Technology
The procedure focuses on the carotid arteries located on both sides of the neck. These major vessels supply blood to the brain, face, and scalp. The clinic uses Doppler ultrasound to identify carotid artery stenosis, a condition where plaque buildup narrows the vessels. Identifying these blockages helps prevent transient ischemic attacks, often called mini-strokes.
- Doppler sonography. This modality visualizes blood flow in real-time to detect atherosclerosis.
- On-site imaging. Patients undergo the scan within the clinic rather than visiting an external center.
- Heart and vein focus. The clinic specializes in cardiovascular health and plaque-related diseases.
- Atherosclerosis screening. The ultrasound is part of the standard investigations for arterial health.

We met our esteemed doctor this weekend for my daughter's check-up. I don't think we could have found anyone more caring and knowledgeable. He was so attentive and cared for my daughter as if she were his own child. He considered every detail and provided information. It's clear he's passionate about his profession. We will continue our follow-ups with him, God willing. May God bless his life. Thank you so much for making us feel safe and secure. With love.
