Vascular & Doppler studies
Vascular & Doppler Ultrasound Studies
Vascular and Doppler ultrasound studies are diagnostic examinations used to assess blood flow within the heart, arteries, and veins.
These studies are performed by a registered diagnostic sonographer and provide a formal diagnostic report of findings for your referring doctor or healthcare provider.
Doppler ultrasound evaluates blood flow direction, velocity, and waveform patterns, assisting in the diagnosis of circulatory and cardiovascular conditions.
Types of Doppler studies performed include:
Cardiac (Heart) Ultrasound
Assessment of heart chambers and valves
Evaluation of cardiac function
Doppler assessment of blood flow through the heart
Arterial Doppler Studies
Upper or lower limb arterial circulation
Assessment of arterial narrowing or blockages
Investigation of poor circulation, pain, or claudication
Venous Doppler Studies
Evaluation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Assessment of venous patency and flow
Investigation of limb swelling or pain
Venous Insufficiency & Varicose Vein Studies
Mapping of superficial and deep venous systems
Assessment of venous reflux
Evaluation of chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins
Common indications include:
Suspected blood clots (DVT)
Leg or arm swelling
Pain related to circulation problems
Varicose veins
Stroke risk screening (carotid arteries)
Known cardiovascular or peripheral vascular disease
Preparation instructions
No fasting required unless specifically advised
Wear loose, comfortable clothing
Shorts may be helpful for lower limb studies
Important note
All vascular and Doppler studies performed at Sonosis Ultrasound are diagnostic medical examinations. A detailed ultrasound report is provided to assist your doctor in further management, referral, or treatment planning.
