Duplex ultrasound and color Doppler are non-invasive imaging techniques used to evaluate blood flow in arteries and veins.
Overview
These tests combine traditional ultrasound imaging with Doppler technology to assess circulation, detect blockages, blood clots, aneurysms, and venous insufficiency.
Understanding The Procedure
Symptoms Duplex Ultrasound / Color Doppler
- ⦾ Symptoms or clinical findings that require Duplex Ultrasound / Color Doppler for clearer diagnosis
- ⦾ Unresolved or unexplained complaints after initial clinical evaluation
- ⦾ Need to confirm disease extent, severity, or organ involvement
- ⦾ Monitoring of a known condition where imaging or testing guides next steps
- ⦾ Pre-treatment planning where accurate assessment is required
Recovery & Outlook
Regular Doppler surveillance helps detect vascular problems early and improves long-term vascular disease management.
Risks
- ⦾ Operator-dependent accuracy
- ⦾ Limited imaging in obese patients
- ⦾ Difficulty visualizing deep vessels
Post-Operative Care
- ⦾ Usually no recovery time required
- ⦾ Continue medications as advised
- ⦾ Follow-up vascular consultation if abnormalities are detected
