Doppler and vascular ultrasound evaluation is a non-invasive imaging technique used to assess blood flow in arteries and veins throughout the body. This diagnostic tool uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blockages, narrowing (stenosis), blood clots, or abnormal flow patterns. It is commonly used to evaluate conditions such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, and carotid artery disease.

Doppler ultrasound provides real-time information about the speed and direction of blood flow, helping physicians make accurate diagnoses and plan appropriate treatments. It is safe, painless, and highly effective in monitoring vascular conditions, guiding surgical or endovascular procedures, and evaluating the success of interventions like bypass surgery or stent placement. Regular vascular ultrasound screening is especially valuable for patients with diabetes, hypertension, or a history of cardiovascular disease.
