There is a moment — a persistent headache, a sudden dizziness, a ringing in one ear — when the body asks to be heard. Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck is the answer that takes no guesswork: a precise, painless look at how blood actually moves through the arteries and veins that supply the brain. At K-MED, this examination is not a formality. It is the kind of careful attention that turns vague worry into clear understanding.
Who We Are
K-MED is a Kyiv-based diagnostic center built on a straightforward conviction: that modern medicine should be accessible, honest, and humane. The team includes board-certified specialists in ultrasound diagnostics with years of focused clinical experience. They work with equipment calibrated for fine vascular detail, and they read results with the kind of rigor that does not cut corners for the sake of speed. Patients are not processed here — they are seen.
What We Offer
K-MED provides comprehensive Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck, a study that evaluates the condition of the carotid arteries, vertebral arteries, jugular veins, and intracranial vessels using duplex scanning combined with color Doppler mapping.
The examination covers:
Extracranial vessels — assessment of the carotid and vertebral arteries for stenosis, atherosclerotic plaques, wall changes, and blood flow velocity.
Intracranial vessels — transcranial Doppler imaging of the cerebral arteries, detecting signs of vascular spasm or increased resistance.
Venous outflow — evaluation of the jugular veins and intracranial venous sinuses, relevant in cases of headaches tied to venous congestion.
Functional tests — positional and compression protocols to assess how blood flow responds under real conditions, not only at rest.
Each study produces a detailed written report with measurements and clinical commentary, available the same day. The procedure takes between 20 and 40 minutes, requires no preparation, and involves no radiation — only a transducer, conductive gel, and a trained eye.
When It Is the Right Choice
Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck is indicated in a broad range of situations:
- Recurring headaches or migraines without a clear cause
- Dizziness, sudden loss of balance, or brief episodes of spatial disorientation
- Tinnitus or a sensation of pulsing in the ears
- Numbness in the face, arms, or fingers that comes and goes
- Visual disturbances — flickering, blurring, or transient blackouts
- After a diagnosis of arterial hypertension, diabetes, or elevated cholesterol
- Family history of stroke or cardiovascular disease
- Neck osteochondrosis with neurological symptoms
- Pre-operative assessment before planned cardiac or vascular surgery
- Preventive check-ups for adults over 40
The procedure is equally appropriate for patients referred by a neurologist or cardiologist and for those who arrive on their own initiative after noticing something unusual.
Why K-MED
Diagnostic precision. The center uses high-resolution duplex scanners with color and spectral Doppler modes, capable of detecting early-stage vascular changes before they produce clinical symptoms.
Specialists who explain. After the study, the doctor walks the patient through the findings in plain language. A printed report is ready immediately; there is no waiting period of days.
Transparent pricing. The cost of Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck at K-MED is fixed and stated in advance. There are no hidden fees for written conclusions or consultations that follow from the same visit.
Appointment the same week. Online booking is available around the clock. Most patients are seen within one to three days of making an appointment.
Location in central Kyiv. The clinic is easily reached by public transport, with clear directions provided at the time of booking.
Take the Step That Makes Sense
The vessels that carry blood to the brain work silently and without complaint — until something changes. Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck gives an accurate picture of that work: what is flowing freely, what has narrowed, what requires attention. It is a study that takes less than an hour and can inform years of better decisions about health.
