What is a Doppler scan?
Doppler uses sound waves to measure the direction and speed of blood flow in arteries and veins. Flow is shown in colour on the screen, and you may hear the sound of blood flow during the exam.
Why your doctor may request it
Your doctor may request a Doppler scan to help assess:
- Leg veins
- Neck (carotid) arteries
- Arteries of the limbs
- Blood flow to certain organs
What to expect
Gel is applied to your skin and the probe is moved along the path of the vessels, sometimes with gentle pressure. The exam is painless, and you can return to normal activity straight away.
Before your visit
- Wear comfortable clothes that make the area easy to reach.
- Some abdominal Doppler scans need fasting.
- Bring your doctor's request and your insurance card.
- Our team will confirm your instructions when you book. [PREPARATION NOTES]
