Doppler
What is it?
Doppler ultrasound tests use sound waves to examine blood flow in arteries and veins. These non-invasive tests are commonly used to evaluate circulation, detect blood clots, and monitor vascular health.
Why is it important?
These tests help detect blockages, clots, and abnormal blood flow, contributing to the early detection of cardiovascular and circulatory conditions.
Common Symptoms Addressed by the Doppler Tests:
Swelling in limbs
Unexplained pain or tenderness in the legs
Varicose veins
Shortness of breath
Chest pain or palpitations
Abdominal discomfort
Tests Included
Tests Include:
Carotid Doppler
Examines blood flow in the carotid arteries to detect blockages or narrowing, helping to assess stroke risk.
Doppler – Upper Limb
Monitors blood flow in the arteries and veins of the upper limbs for clots, blockages, or circulation problems.
Doppler (Pregnancy/Obstetrics)
Assesses blood flow to the fetus and placenta during pregnancy.
Doppler Artery + Vein B/L LL
Evaluates both arterial and venous blood flow in the lower limbs to detect blockages or clotting.
Doppler Lower Limb Arterial + Venous
Measures blood flow in the arteries and veins of the lower limbs, often to check for deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Doppler Peripheral Artery / Veins
Examines the blood flow in peripheral arteries and veins to check for blockages or poor circulation.
Doppler Portal Venous
Evaluates blood flow in the portal vein, used for liver-related issues like cirrhosis or portal hypertension.
Doppler Screening DVT
Checks for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs by screening for blood clots in veins.
Doppler Study of Small Part Scrotum
Examines blood flow in the scrotal area, used for diagnosing varicocele or other vascular conditions.
Doppler Study of Small Part Swelling
Assesses blood flow in localized swellings to determine if they are caused by abnormal circulation.
Doppler Study of Small Part Thyroid
Examines blood flow in the thyroid gland, helpful for diagnosing thyroid conditions like goiter or nodules.
Doppler Study Renal Artery
Assesses the renal arteries for narrowing or blockages that could affect kidney function.
Doppler Study Splenoportal Axis
Analyzes blood flow in the splenoportal axis to detect abnormalities related to liver or spleen conditions.
Ultrasonography Small Part Doppler
Provides an ultrasound of smaller parts, like the thyroid, to assess blood flow and identify vascular issues.
Estimated Price Range
The price range for Doppler tests varies between ₹699.00 and ₹3,499.00, depending on the test type and complexity. Discounts may be applicable on Medicas.
FAQ’s
A: Ultrasound Small Part Doppler can help identify vascular abnormalities, such as blood clots, varicose veins, and arterial stenosis, within the small parts being examined.
A: Yes, the Doppler component of the test is safe. It uses sound waves to evaluate blood flow and does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation.
A: Preparation for this test may vary depending on the specific area being examined. Your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions, such as fasting or avoiding certain medications, if necessary.
A: No, Ultrasound Small Part Doppler is a non-invasive and painless test. The ultrasound technician applies a water-based gel on the skin and uses a transducer to obtain images and Doppler signals without causing discomfort.
A: The time to receive the test results may vary depending on the facility's protocols and the complexity of the examination. Your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you once they are available.
