EXAM: Ultrasound carotid, bilateral.

REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Pain.

COMPARISON: None.

PARAMETRIC DATA: Right CCA PSV 0.72 m/s. Right ICA PSV is 0.595 m/s. Right ICA EDV 0.188 m/s. Right vertebral 0.517 m/s. Right IC/CC is 0.826. Left CCA PSV 0.571 m/s, left ICA PSV 0.598 m/s. Left ICA EDV 0.192 m/s. Left vertebral 0.551 m/s. Left IC/CC is 1.047.

IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence for clinically significant stenosis.
2. Minimal, predominantly soft plaquing.
