Your carotid arteries carry blood from your heart to your brain. When plaque silently builds up inside them, stroke risk rises dramatically — with no warning signs until it is too late. This 45-minute scan changes that.
You don't need a doctor's referral. This scan is strongly recommended if any of the following apply to you:
Mobile concierge fee: +$50–$100 by distance
Many people have never had this scan before. Here is exactly what happens — no surprises, no anxiety.
No radiation. No needles. No discomfort. An ultrasound uses sound waves — the same technology used in obstetric imaging. It is entirely safe and non-invasive.
Just show up. No fasting, no medication changes. Wear a low-collar shirt or remove any necklaces beforehand.
Completely painless. The sonographer gently places a small probe on the sides of your neck and captures detailed images of both carotid arteries.
We can see exactly how blood is moving through your arteries and identify any areas of narrowing or plaque buildup.
Your images are reviewed by a board-certified cardiologist who specializes in vascular disease.
A clear written report explains your plaque burden, degree of stenosis if any, and recommended next steps.
These conditions often develop without symptoms for years. Early detection changes the outcome dramatically.
Narrowing of the artery that restricts blood flow to the brain — a leading cause of ischemic stroke.
Fatty deposits inside the artery walls. Even small amounts can break off and cause a stroke.
Unstable plaque characteristics that significantly increase near-term stroke risk.
Early artery wall thickening that predicts future cardiovascular risk before symptoms appear.
Abnormal flow patterns caused by partial blockages that can be detected before they become critical.
Unusual artery positioning or branching patterns important to identify before any procedures.
We built BlackPoint Diagnostics because quality cardiovascular imaging shouldn't require a hospital visit, a referral, or a weeks-long wait. Our sonographer performs cardiovascular imaging daily alongside physicians — this is clinical-grade diagnostics delivered with genuine convenience.
