The newest duplex scanning equipment used in the "Normed" medical center allows to examine the smallest changes in vessels. Among the main advantages of this method are its high sensitivity, non-invasiveness and the possibility of repeated examinations. This research method allows to evaluate the indicators of blood circulation, the patency of venous and arterial vessels, the degrees of narrowing, the state of the vessel wall, the presence of blood clots in the vessels, etc.
This research is absolutely safe and passed.
The duration of the survey is 15-30 minutes, and the answer is provided immediately after the survey.
The research has been completed, it has no age or gender restrictions, it is also indicated during pregnancy.
The duplex examination gives an opportunity to assess the condition of the vessel walls and lumen, to measure the diameter, to check the blood flow rate, the presence of atherosclerotic plaques, and also to assess valvular insufficiency and deformations in the veins.
It is possible to assess the state of vessels of the neck, lower and upper limbs, abdominal cavities with duplex examination.
Indications for "extracranial" duplex examination of neck vessels are:
- headache
- noise in the ears,
- dizziness,
- disorders of consciousness,
- feelings of unilateral numbness of the limbs,
- speech disorders,
- high level of cholesterol, triglycerides in the blood,
- long-term inexplicable pains in the neck area,
- vascular operations,
- for prophylactic purposes.
Indications for duplex examination of the upper and lower extremities are:
- Swelling of limbs, Asymmetry of limbs.
-redness in the direction of the veins on the leg,
- muscle pains in the calves,
- dilated veins visible on the leg,
-infiltration and discoloration of the skin with a vein projection.
-pains in the calf or thighs when walking,
- to assess the degree of vascular damage in the presence of diabetes,
- after vascular operations.
Indications for duplex examination of abdominal vessels are:
- increase or decrease in blood pressure,
- smokers, men over 55 years old,
-presence of abdominal pain of unknown origin,
- occurrence of transient paralysis,
The main advantage of the method is the early diagnosis of diseases before the appearance of clinical symptoms.
• Using the method, it is possible to diagnose not only organic, but also functional disorders.
• The research process has been completed, it is safe and non-invasive.
• The process is fast.
• Available.
• It has high sensitivity, specificity and maximum information.
How to prepare?
Apart from abdominal vessels, the examination of other areas does not require special preparation. In the case of abdominal vessels, it is necessary to refrain from food that causes bloating three days before the examination, not to eat in the evening hours on the day before the examination, to appear hungry on the day of the examination.
There are no contraindications. The high information, specificity and sensitivity of this test are very important to get the right treatment.
