Medical Tests at the Israeli Stroke Center.
Carotid Doppler: An ultrasound test that evaluates blood flow in the neck arteries. It is used to diagnose stenosis (narrowing) and atherosclerosis. It is an important tool for assessing stroke risk.
TCD – Doppler: An ultrasound test to evaluate blood flow in the brain arteries. It is used to diagnose stenosis and atherosclerosis.
TCD with Bubbles: An ultrasound test performed in the presence of a physician, combined with the injection of agitated saline (saline with tiny air bubbles). It is used for the diagnosis of right to left shunt, usually throw the patent foramen ovale (PFO).
Holter Monitor (Heart): An automatic device that monitors heart rhythm for 24-48 hours. It diagnoses arrhythmias (such as atrial fibrillation) that can cause a stroke.
Holter Blood Pressure Monitor: An automatic device that monitors blood pressure over a 24-hour period. It is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension
Additional tests coordinated quickly and efficiently at the center.
Brain CT: A radiation-based imaging test without contrast material. It is used to diagnose strokes, hemorrhages, and other intracranial issues.
CTA : A CT scan with the injection of contrast material. This is a fast and easily performed test with high availability. It involves radiation and iodine administration. The test is used to diagnose vascular disorders in the neck and brain with high accuracy.
MRI: It is usually performed with the injection of contrast material . The test is highly sensitive in detecting brain strokes, hemorrhages, inflammation, and tumors. Additionally, the test can diagnose vascular disorders. The test has two disadvantages: it is not as readily available as CT, and the test itself involves prolonged time in a confined space inside the machine (problematic for those with claustrophobia).
Echocardiography: An ultrasound of the heart. It identifies several conditions that can increase the risk of stroke, such as heart valve disorders, left atrial enlargement, impaired contraction of the heart wall, and more.
