Arterial and venous Doppler

It is a non-invasive technique based on changes in the ultrasonic frequency emitted when reflected in different body tissues and permits the visualization of vascular (ultrasound image) and extravascular structures as well as the study of venous flow (Doppler effect)

Indications for venous eco-Doppler

The venous eco-Doppler is an accurate and necessary tool for the study and diagnosis of venous pathology in the exploration of venous insufficiency and varicose veins, and in the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT)

Differential Diagnosis

The echo-Doppler is used for differential diagnosis of DVT with muscle rupture, ruptured popliteal cysts, popliteal venous aneurysms (thrombosed or not), popliteal artery aneurysm, tumors (sarcomas), etc.

The venous Doppler ultrasound is used to:

The venous Doppler ultrasound is used to:

  • View: Aplasia, dysplasia, splits, venous aneurysms.
  • Diagnosis of venous thrombosis.
  • Diagnosis of superficial venous insufficiency (size and location).
  • Study Peripheral venous structures for differential diagnosis.
  • Study compression.

*This procedure doesn’t require preparation.
