Clinical Indications

Stroke Prevention — Why Westbrook Residents Get Screened

Westbrook lies directly west of Portland along the Presumpscot River corridor — a dense, working city where residents face the same access barriers as anywhere in Greater Portland. Hospital imaging labs at Maine Medical Center or Mercy Hospital require referrals, pre-authorizations, and typical two-to-four week waits. For a carotid duplex that can detect a life-altering stroke risk before symptoms appear, that wait is unnecessary. BlackPoint brings the same hospital-grade carotid duplex imaging to your Westbrook home for $397 flat, with no referral and no delay.

Emanuel Papadakis, RDCS, RVT, evaluates blood flow, plaque burden, and stenosis degree in both carotid arteries, including vertebral artery assessment and intima-media thickness measurement. A board-certified cardiologist reviews every study and delivers a written clinical report within 24 to 48 hours. Cost is $397 flat — HSA and FSA accepted.

What We’re Looking For

What a Carotid Duplex Ultrasound Evaluates

Plaque Burden

Identifies atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries — the primary cause of stroke.

Stenosis Degree

Measures arterial narrowing from mild (<50%) to severe (>70%), where surgical intervention is considered.

Blood Flow Velocity

Elevated velocities indicate turbulent flow through a narrowed segment — the key metric for grading stenosis.

Vertebral Artery Flow

A secondary pathway supplying the brain — evaluated for reversed or abnormal flow patterns.

Intima-Media Thickness

Increased IMT is an early marker of atherosclerosis before visible plaque develops.

Flow Direction

Reversed flow can indicate a significant upstream or downstream blockage.
