Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, yes computed tomography brain may be useful to know about carotid artery details.

But, computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance imaging angiography may provide additional images /details about carotid arteries blood flow. For that, a contrast XXXXXXX is injected into the blood vessel.

Please let me know details about your present symptoms /complaints, so that I can get better idea.

You can also consult with Neurophysician for detailed clinical examination. He may procure relevant investigations as per evaluation.
