Vascular Doppler Studies

Vascular Doppler Studies

Vascular Doppler studies are specialized ultrasound tests used to evaluate blood flow in the arteries and veins throughout the body. At Dr. Wellness Diagnostic Centre, we offer comprehensive Doppler studies using advanced GE Versana Premier ultrasound technology, ensuring accurate and detailed vascular imaging in a non-invasive, safe, and comfortable manner.

These tests are crucial for detecting blockages, clots, narrowing of vessels, or impaired circulation, which can lead to serious conditions such as stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or peripheral artery disease (PAD). Doppler studies help clinicians assess the health of the circulatory system and guide treatment decisions effectively.

Doppler Studies We Offer:

  1. Upper Limb Doppler – Checks blood flow in the arteries and veins of the arms for blockages or narrowing.

  2. Lower Limb Doppler – Evaluates leg circulation; essential for diagnosing DVT, varicose veins, or arterial insufficiency.

  3. Abdominal Doppler – Assesses blood flow in abdominal organs like the liver, kidneys, and aorta.

  4. Carotid Doppler – Detects narrowing or blockages in the neck arteries, which may increase the risk of stroke.

  5. Scrotal Doppler – Evaluates testicular blood flow; useful for diagnosing varicocele, torsion, or inflammation.

When is a Vascular Doppler Study Needed?

  • Swelling or pain in limbs

  • Cold hands or feet

  • Suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

  • Varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency

  • Post-surgical graft surveillance

  • Carotid artery screening for stroke risk

  • Kidney or liver transplant assessment

  • Erectile dysfunction related to vascular issues

What to Expect During the Procedure:

Doppler ultrasound is completely non-invasive. A water-based gel is applied to the skin, and a transducer is moved over the area being examined. The machine captures the movement of blood and measures its flow using sound waves. The test is usually completed in 20–30 minutes and does not require any needles or contrast agents.
