The above color Doppler images show a cross section through the bifurcation of the (Rt.) common carotid artery into its two main branches: 1) Rt. ECA- the external carotid artery 2) Rt. ICA- the internal carotid artery. The image on right shows a section just above the bifurcation. IJV= the internal jugular vein (seen in blue color). Note that the ECA is more anterior and medial to the ICA. Also, the ICA (internal carotid artery) is larger than the other branch- the ECA.
