Doppler Ultrasound

Doppler ultrasound creates images without any invasive procedure and without causing the patient pain, using sound waves reflected from circulating blood cells. While a standard ultrasound image shows only the organ itself, Doppler also shows blood flow. For this reason, Doppler contributes significantly to the early detection of many important and vital findings and to early diagnosis.

Conditions that can be detected with Doppler:

• Blood clots,
• Valve insufficiency in the leg veins,
• Heart valve disorders and congenital heart disease,
• Blocked blood vessels,
• Poor circulation in the legs,
• Ballooned blood vessels (aneurysms),
• Narrowing of the arteries (for example, the carotid artery).

Thanks to Doppler ultrasound, the conditions listed above and many others can be diagnosed and their treatment can be monitored.
