DOPPLER

This study is effective for the evaluation of the arterial vessels and the circulation of the extremities, the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease "PAD" and ischemia should be based on an anamnesis and adequate clinical examination, however when it is already proven that there is Peripheral arterial disease "PAD" that significantly compromises the circulation in the lower limbs, an Arterial Doppler Ultrasound of the Lower Limbs is indicated.

It is indicated as part of the study of:
Diabetes Mellitus and Ischemic Diabetic Foot
Intermittent claudication
Embolisms
Peripheral atherosclerosis
Gangrenas and ulcers

ARTERIAL Doppler of Pelvic Limb

This test allows to visualize the carotid arteries, allowing to determine their Caliber; In this way, the existence of atherosclerotic plaques that narrow the artery and reduce the flow of blood that reaches the brain is detected early, helping to predict the risk of having diseases such as an Acute Infarction.

Your doctor will recommend that you have a carotid ultrasound if you have transient ischemic attacks or certain types of strokes. They may also recommend a carotid ultrasound if you have medical conditions that increase the risk of stroke, such as:

- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- Family history of stroke or heart disease
- Recent transient ischemic attack or stroke
- Abnormal sound in the carotid arteries (murmur), detected by the doctor with a stethoscope
- Coronary artery disease

Carotid Doppler

This is an examination that is carried out in order to study the vessels that supply the liver. Generally, it is a study performed in patients with chronic liver damage or hepatitis, in search of vascular complications.

Doppler ultrasound is a method that serves to accurately evaluate the hepatic portal venous system, obtaining information that allows diagnosing portal venous hypertension, evaluating the presence of portosystemic communications in the most advanced cases, as well as the evaluation of transjugular portosystemic communication intrahepatic (TIPS), used in the management of patients with esophageal variceal bleeding, among other indications.

Ultrasound continues to be the first imaging investigation in the study of patients with chronic liver disease, as it allows the attending physician, quickly and efficiently, to know the morphological status of the organs involved and, in addition, through the Doppler study, to assess the characteristics of the flow of the portal system from the quantitative point of view (flow velocity) and qualitative (permeability and flow direction as well as the presence of collateral circulation vessels). It also makes it possible to evaluate all the structures of the abdominal cavity and investigate associated pathologies, such as the hepatorenal syndrome. In favor of this technique are also; its low cost, easy handling, reproducibility and absence of interventionism, all with high sensitivity and specificity, superior to that of other complex diagnostic imaging techniques, such as computerized axial tomography or nuclear magnetic resonance.

Liver Doppler

$The renal artery Doppler study consists of visualizing these arteries from the anterior wall of the abdomen. The images allow you to see the arteries and measure the flow rate of the aorta and renal arteries. In this way, doctors can ensure good blood supply to both kidneys, evaluate the possibility of stenosis or narrowing of any of the arteries (which can be the cause of hypertension refractory to treatment), check the proper functioning of operations performed on the renal arteries (bypass, stents, angioplasties), rule out a perfusion deficit as the cause of an alteration in renal function of undetermined etiology. INDICATIONS - Vascular variants of normality - Study of localized vascular stenosis or aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and main renal arteries - Bilateral renal vascular-venous study - Study of diffuse kidney diseases - Study of localized parenchymal diseases (tumors).$
