Diagnostic procedures at our clinic are carried out by specialized diagnosticians using state-of-the-art equipment. The Doppler ultrasound method for leg veins is a highly informative diagnostic procedure that enables real-time assessment of blood flow intensity and the presence of vascular and tissue pathologies. The basics of Doppler imaging are displayed in real time. Modern equipment provides both quantitative and graphical data. Duplex scanning of the vessels, combined with Doppler ultrasound, enables early detection of venous valve dysfunction, vascular damage and defects, and thromboses of various origins. As a result of the procedure, the doctor obtains precise information about the presence and location of any narrowing or blockage in the vessels. Doppler ultrasound also helps identify the causes of thrombus formation, parallel thromboses, and chronic inflammatory processes. Additionally, our specialists assess the physiological features of the patient’s blood flow and detect any abnormalities. Using this information, the phlebologist can determine the patient’s condition and develop a treatment plan. At the Innovative Vascular and Podiatric Center, experienced vascular surgeons are available for consultations and perform surgical procedures when necessary. A full list of surgical services is available here: Venous Doppler Ultrasound. Indications: Primary symptoms that indicate a need for Doppler ultrasound of the leg veins include: • Acute swelling and tissue edema • Skin ulcers and dark brown spots on the calf area • Partial loss of sensation in toes or the entire limb, along with tingling sensations • Muscle hypotonia or atrophy • Loss of sensation and coldness in the legs • Increased pain due to fatigue or low physical activity • Enlarged veins and visible vascular formations in the skin’s upper layer The appearance of one or more of these symptoms should prompt a visit to a specialist. Don’t ignore the condition—contact our center to schedule a consultation with a phlebologist. Even in the absence of symptoms, individuals with a history of heart attack, stroke, hypertension, or diabetes should undergo Doppler screening periodically. It is also recommended for pregnant women and long-term tobacco users. These tests are often used to assess the effectiveness of prior treatments. Procedure Overview: There are no age restrictions for this diagnostic test. The only requirement is that the patient must be able to hold the necessary position for at least 25–30 minutes, which is the typical duration of the procedure. It is entirely painless and causes no discomfort, making it suitable even for preschool-aged children if needed. No special preparation is required, other than avoiding tobacco and alcohol use before the test. Why Choose Our Center for the Examination? Lower limb Doppler ultrasound is a modern and innovative method. To ensure the highest reliability of the results, the examination should be conducted using advanced equipment capable of accurately analyzing both small and large veins and vessels.
