R-us demonstrates irregular echogenic plaque formation. max peak systolic velocity of the common carotid artery is 100 cm/s. max peak systolic velocity of the internal carotid artery is 108 cm/s. max peak systolic velocity of the external carotid artery is 128 cm/s
L-demonstrates irregular plaque formaton.
common carotid 113 cm/s
internal carotid artery 97 cm/s
external carotid artery 111 cm/s
Vertebral arteries demonstrate normal flow & direction bilaterally
R carotid system moderate atherosclerosis is present, less than 50% in the internal carotid artery.
