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 four-to-eight 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 in Falmouth, 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 in Falmouth — 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.
