Frequently Asked Questions

A Vascular Doppler Scan is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves to measure the blood flow in your arteries and veins, typically in your arms and legs. It helps in detecting blockages, clots, and abnormalities in blood flow.

This scan is performed to diagnose conditions such as blood clots, poor functioning of valves in your leg veins, arterial occlusion, peripheral artery disease, and aneurysms. It can also assess the success of procedures that graft or bypass blood vessels.

Generally, no special preparation is needed. You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and might need to remove all clothing and jewellery in the area to be examined. Inform your technician if you are taking any medications or have any medical implants.

During the scan, a handheld device called a transducer is moved over the body part being examined. The transducer sends and receives sound waves that are amplified through a microphone. The sound waves bounce off circulating red blood cells, and these are translated into an image or graph.

Yes, Vascular Doppler Scans are safe and painless. They do not use ionising radiation, and there are no known risks or side effects directly associated with the use of sound waves in Doppler ultrasound.
