Hello, could someone please help me make sense of these results from my carotid artery ultrasound?

Findings:

Using color and power Doppler imaging of the carotid tree, both internal carotid arteries (ICA) show medium-width lumens—morphologically, there are no signs of significant bilateral stenosis, and blood flow (hemodynamics) appears satisfactory on both sides.

In the area of the bifurcation and the bulb for both internal carotid arteries, there are marginal, low-echogenic plaques. Morphologically, these cause mild stenosis (approximately 25%) at the origin of the ICA bilaterally, though the hemodynamics remain satisfactory on both sides.

Circulation direction in both ophthalmic arteries is physiological.

There is an asymmetry in the lumen width of the vertebral arteries (LAV 3.8 mm; DAV 2.8 mm) measured in the V1 segment bilaterally; circulation direction is physiological on both sides, though the left side is normal while the right side shows attenuated hemodynamics.

Thanks for the help.

Nothing out of the ordinary here—all my results came back within the normal physiological range😉

Could someone please help me make sense of my father's carotid Doppler results?

"Morphological analysis of the extracranial carotid circulation using color and power Doppler shows thickening of the intimal walls in both the ACC and ACE.
The right ICA shows no signs of stenotic or occlusive processes, with normal hemodynamics.
The left ICA forms a coil in its initial segment, but shows no signs of stenotic or occlusive processes and maintains normal hemodynamics.
In the V2 segment, both vertebral arteries show physiological flow direction and normal lumen width; the left is normal, while the right shows attenuated hemodynamics."

Thank you!!!
