Doppler ultrasound is a specialized imaging technique that allows us to see and hear blood flowing through your blood vessels. It is a critical tool for diagnosing conditions related to the circulatory system without the need for invasive procedures or contrast dyes.
What Doppler Can Detect:
- Blood Clots (DVT): Identifying clots in the deep veins of the legs before they can travel to the lungs.
- Arterial Blockages: Checking for narrowing or blockages in the arteries that could lead to a stroke or heart attack.
- Varicose Veins: Evaluating the function of valves in the veins.
- Fetal Health: Monitoring blood flow to the placenta and the baby during high-risk pregnancies.
The procedure is similar to a regular ultrasound but uses the Doppler effect to measure the speed and direction of blood cells. It provides immediate, actionable data for vascular surgeons and general physicians alike. We offer comprehensive Color Doppler services for Carotid, Renal, and Peripheral vascular health.
