Arterial
Carotid
Imaging with Doppler
Depicts left and
right common carotid artery systems
from base of neck to above
bifurcation. Shows plaque
and stenosis, measures blood flow velocities and
extent of disease. Transcranial doppler when requested
Physiological
Upper and
Lower Extremity Arteries
Segmental blood
pressure measurements, continuous Doppler waveform analysis,
plethysmography.
ABI's
Duplex
Imaging -
Upper and Lower Extremities
Images lumen of
arteries in extremities using 2D and color flow mapping. Doppler gives spectral characteristics of
blood flow and velocity which will determine degree of stenosis.
|
Venous
Duplex
Imaging Upper and Lower Extremities
Images veins in
upper and lower extremities. Doppler gives characteristics of
blood flow.
Visceral vascular
Duplex
Organs
Images arterial
inflow and venous outflow of abdominal, pelvic and/or
retroperitoneal organs.
Duplex
Aorta, Inferior Vena Cava,
Iliac Vasculature
Images of these
vessels and/or tributaries as well as flow patterns. Doppler gives
characteristics of blood flow.
