🩺 What Does an Arterial Doppler Scan Show?
This scan uses high-frequency sound waves to visualise blood flow in the arteries of the legs or arms. It provides valuable insights into:
- ✔ Blood Flow Velocity: Measures the speed and direction of blood flow in the arteries.
- ✔ Detection of Blockages: Identifies narrowing (stenosis) or complete blockages in arteries.
- ✔ Arterial Wall Evaluation: Assesses the integrity and flexibility of arterial walls.
🔍 Why Is This Scan Important?
- ✔ Early Diagnosis of PAD: PAD affects circulation in the legs and can lead to pain, wounds, or even limb loss if untreated.
- ✔ Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: Helps identify risks such as hypertension, high cholesterol, or diabetes-related complications.
- ✔ Monitoring Disease Progression: For patients with existing vascular conditions, regular scans guide treatment adjustments.
