Carotid artery disease

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Head & Neck

Carotid artery disease happens when the arteries that supply blood to the brain become narrowed or blocked by plaque build-up. It often develops without symptoms and is a significant risk factor for stroke. An MRI may show changes in the carotid arteries consistent with narrowing or plaque. Identifying carotid artery disease early allows for risk factor management and intervention that may help reduce the risk of a stroke.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
