We are dedicated to providing fast, accurate results in a supportive environment, ensuring you receive the high-quality diagnostic care you deserve.

Doppler Ultrasound Scanning

Doppler vascular ultrasounds are specialized scans that allow our sonographers to evaluate the speed and direction of blood flow in real-time. By detecting changes in sound waves as they bounce off moving blood cells, Doppler technology identifies potential blockages, narrowing, or clots within your circulatory system.

When examining vessels in the abdomen, some preparation (such as fasting) is required to ensure the clearest possible flow data. Our experienced team provides comprehensive Doppler imaging across a wide range of clinical needs:

Carotid Arteries – Utilizing Color Doppler to assess the velocity of blood flow to the brain, helping to identify plaque buildup and manage stroke risk.
Temporal Arteries - A high-frequency Doppler assessment for giant cell arteritis, a critical scan for detecting inflammation that can lead to blindness if untreated.
Arm Veins & Arteries - Monitoring flow to the hands and checking for compression at the thoracic outlet (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) or detecting potential blood clots in the deep veins.
Aorta and IVC - Comprehensive Doppler screening for aortic aneurysms, measuring flow dynamics to detect clots (thrombosis) or assess compromised circulation as part of a broader arterial study.
Leg Arteries & Veins – Specialized Doppler exams for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and varicose veins (chronic venous insufficiency). A leg artery exam routinely includes Doppler assessment of the aorta and iliac arteries to ensure healthy lower-limb circulation.
Renal and Mesenteric Arteries – Measuring the precise blood flow to the kidneys and bowel to identify renovascular hypertension or mesenteric ischemia.

Why It Helps

Undergoing a Doppler ultrasound provides critical, real-time insights into your circulatory dynamics and overall vascular health. Unlike standard scans, Doppler technology allows us to listen to and measure the speed of your blood flow, identifying narrowing, blockages, or abnormalities before they escalate into serious health concerns. This high-definition data enables your healthcare provider to diagnose conditions early and monitor existing issues with precision, ensuring a treatment plan tailored to your long-term health and peace of mind.
