A Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic that uses circulating red blood cells to reflect high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to assess the blood flow via your blood arteries. Normal ultrasounds employ sound waves to create images, but they are unable to depict blood flow.
Many conditions can be identified with a Doppler ultrasonography, including:
Clots of blood
- faulty valves in your leg veins may result in blood or other fluids pooling in your legs (venous insufficiency)
- Congenital heart illness and heart valve abnormalities
- an obstructed artery (arterial occlusion)
- diminished blood flow to your legs (peripheral artery disease)
- enlarged arteries (aneurysms)
- arterial narrowing, such as in your neck's arteries (carotid artery stenosis)
By monitoring the rate of change in pitch, a Doppler ultrasound may calculate how quickly blood flows (frequency). A sonographer with training in ultrasound imaging applies pressure to your skin with a tiny, hand-held instrument (transducer) roughly the size of a bar of soap across the area of your body being scanned, moving from one place to another as required.
As an alternative to more invasive treatments like angiography, which involves injecting dye into the blood arteries to make them visible on X-ray images, this test may be performed.
Your doctor may use a Doppler ultrasound to assess for artery damage or to keep track of specific veins and artery therapies.
