ULTRASOUND DUPLEX SCANNING OF BRACHIOCEPHALIC ARTERIES (UZDS BCA)
Ultrasound duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries (BCA ultrasound) is a modern ultrasound method for diagnosing blood vessels, namely the carotid and vertebral arteries supplying blood to the brain, as well as subclavian arteries.
The vessels of the brain are a complex system capable of self-regulation and maintenance of cerebral blood flow. Therefore, only comprehensive diagnostics, including ultrasound scanning, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, allows timely and accurate selection of treatment tactics and evaluation of its effectiveness.During ULTRASOUND, the anatomy of blood vessels, the condition of the wall and lumen of the arteries are evaluated and blood flow parameters are simultaneously determined using Dopplerography and color scanning, which makes it possible to obtain a more accurate picture of the condition of blood vessels. UZDS are used to diagnose:
-
atherosclerotic plaques;
-
blood clots in the lumen;
-
arterial tortuosity and dissection.
The initial ultrasound sign of atherosclerosis is not a plaque, but a thickening of the carotid artery wall by a fraction of a millimeter. This indicator is necessarily determined by duplex scanning and is called the thickness of the intima-media complex (CIM). It is taken into account when evaluating the effectiveness of statin treatment and antihypertensive therapy. An increase in CMM of more than 1.0 mm is usually associated with risk factors for cardiovascular diseases: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, increased blood cholesterol, etc.
Indications for duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries are:
-
headache;
-
vertigo;
-
fainting;
-
high or low blood pressure;
-
elevated blood cholesterol;
-
impaired limb movement and sensitivity;
-
visual impairment.
Advantages of duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries:
-
highly informative;
-
speed of execution;
-
security (multiple execution option for dynamic monitoring).
Due to its advantages, ultrasound duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries is recognized worldwide as one of the main methods of diagnosing vascular diseases. Ultrasound assessment of cerebral circulation, neurosonology, is a relatively new and rather complex field that requires a high level of training and clinical experience from a specialist.
At the European Medical Center, ultrasound duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries is performed using the most modern ultrasound systems that allow detecting the disease at an early stage, archiving the results and conducting a comparative analysis of their dynamics. BCA ultrasound is included in the programs of cardiological and neurological examination.
