Doppler and duplex scans of blood vessels
Doppler and Duplex Imaging of Blood Vessels
Doppler and duplex imaging are among the most important modern diagnostic tools used to assess the health of arteries and veins and the efficiency of blood flow within blood vessels. These tests help in the early detection of many vascular diseases, such as arterial stenosis, venous thrombosis, varicose veins, and venous insufficiency, contributing to the development of a precise and appropriate treatment plan for each case.
When do you need Doppler and duplex imaging?
* Leg pain while walking or moving.
* Frequent swelling of the legs or feet.
* Appearance of varicose veins or prominent veins.

2- Arterial Duplex
Combines ultrasound imaging with Doppler technology to provide a detailed image of the artery, pinpointing the location of any blockage or narrowing and its impact on blood circulation.
3- Venous Doppler
Aids in diagnosing deep vein thrombosis, assessing the efficiency of veins and their valves, and detecting any disorders affecting blood return to the heart.
4- Varicose Vein Duplex
Provides a comprehensive assessment of the condition of veins and chronic venous insufficiency, and helps determine the best treatment plan for varicose veins and their complications.
