Abstract
Ultrasound study of extracranial vessels is performed in supine position of the patient. The head should be slightly elevated if desired. The patient should be comfortably positioned with the head resting on the examination bed to avoid neck muscle tension. For better visualization, the neck must be straightened and turned to the opposite direction (Carroll 1996; Bartels 1999; Valdueza et al. 2008).
✠Fridon Todua was deceased at the time of publication.
