Severe weather alert

To support the safety of our patients and team members, most Inova outpatient offices will close for in‑person visits by 2:00 p.m. on Monday, March 16. We're converting in‑person appointments to virtual visits whenever possible or helping patients reschedule. Inova Go-Health Urgent Care will also close at 2:30 p.m. and continue to offer virtual visits. If you have an in-person appointment after 2 p.m. today, please contact the office directly.

Carotid Duplex Ultrasound

Carotid duplex ultrasound is a diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves to evaluate the carotid arteries in the neck to assess occlusion (blockage) or stenosis (narrowing) of the carotid arteries and branches.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time.

Bring the following information with you:

  • A signed prescription for an imaging study (unless your doctor’s office has either faxed an order or indicated they entered the order directly into Inova’s electronic medical records system)
  • Insurance card
  • Photo ID (e.g., license, passport)
  • Any previous exam films and reports performed at a non-Inova facility, including X-rays, mammograms, MRIs, CT scans and ultrasounds
  • Implant card, if applicable
