Doppler - Arterial Doppler 1 Limb
Arterial Doppler (1 Limb) is an ultrasound test used to evaluate blood flow in the arteries of a single limb.
Doppler – Arterial Doppler (1 Limb) is a specialized ultrasound examination that focuses on assessing blood flow within the arteries of one limb (either arm or leg). It uses Doppler technology to visualize arterial circulation, measure blood flow velocity, and detect abnormalities.
This scan is highly effective in diagnosing conditions such as arterial narrowing (stenosis), blockages, peripheral artery disease (PAD), reduced blood supply, and vascular insufficiency. It helps evaluate circulation problems that may cause pain, cramps, numbness, or non-healing wounds in the affected limb.
The test provides real-time imaging and is commonly recommended for patients with suspected arterial disease, diabetes, or risk factors for vascular disorders. It plays a key role in early diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of arterial conditions.
The procedure is safe, non-invasive, painless, and does not involve radiation, making it suitable for repeated monitoring.
This test is recommended for individuals:
- Experiencing limb pain, cramps, or numbness
- Suspected of arterial blockages or PAD
- With diabetes or vascular risk factors
- Having non-healing wounds or ulcers
- With abnormal findings on other vascular tests
- Requiring arterial evaluation of one limb
