1 Your blood pressure will be taken in both arms. 2  Then a small ultrasound transducer will be placed on the femoral artery in each leg, to record waveforms caused by the flow of blood through the artery. 3  The transducer will also be placed over 3 arteries in each ankle to measure blood flow by ultrasound and waveforms.

Doppler Ultrasound. Guide. A Doppler ultrasound test uses reflected sound waves to see how blood flows through a blood vessel. It helps doctors evaluate blood flow through major arteries and veins, such as those of the arms, legs, and neck.

This may be due to an arterial blockage, a blood clot inside a blood vessel or bypass graft, or an injury to a blood vessel. The Doppler ultrasound exam may be ordered if you have (or if your doctor thinks you may have): 1  deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a vein deep inside your body). 2  superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation due to a blood clot in a vein just below the skin's surface).

1 Color Doppler. 2  Color Doppler uses standard ultrasound methods to produce a picture of a blood vessel. 3  Also, a computer converts the Doppler sounds into colors that are overlaid on the image of the blood vessel and that represent the speed and direction of blood flow through the vessel.

Renal and Mesenteric Doppler Ultrasound. Print. Print. Renal and mesenteric Doppler ultrasound uses a technique called Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow through the renal arteries (which supply blood to the kidneys) and/or the mesenteric arteries (which supply the intestine and other abdominal organs).

Purpose of the Renal and Mesenteric Doppler Ultrasound. 1  To determine if stenosis, aneurysm or other disease of the renal arteries is present; if so, to also determine what kind/severity and where it is. 2  To evaluate for disease in renal arteries and kidneys.

Doppler ultrasound is a technique used to measure the flow of blood through your arteries and blood vessels—usually those in your extremities. Vascular flow studies, also known as blood flow studies, can detect abnormal flow within a blood vessel.

1 Duplex Doppler. 2  Duplex Doppler ultrasound uses standard ultrasound methods to produce a picture of a blood vessel and the surrounding organs. 3  Also, a computer converts the Doppler sounds into a graph that gives information about the speed and direction of blood flow through the blood vessel being evaluated.

A Doppler ultrasound will be able to measure the blood flow through the arteries or veins in question. The test can show how much blood flows through your arteries with each heartbeat as well as the blood pressure within your arteries.

Arterial Doppler Exam. An Arterial Doppler evaluates the arterial blood flow of the body. It is used many times to evaluate the arteries of the legs. It may be ordered when there is suspicion on exam or with symptoms suggestive of blockage of the arteries. There is no radiation for this test as it uses sound waves and pressure cuffs.

where are arterial dopplers done?
An arterial Doppler is done on arms, legs and neck. Arterial dopplers are done on the arms, legs and neck.
