Venous Limb Color Doppler

Venous blood flow can be done using a variety of imaging techniques, including ultrasound with color Doppler. This non-invasive procedure allows healthcare professionals to assess the blood flow in the arteries and veins to check for any abnormalities or blockages.

During the screening, a handheld ultrasound device is placed on the skin over the area of interest, such as the arms, legs, or neck. The device emits sound waves that bounce off the blood cells and tissues in the area. The returning sound waves are then translated into visual images and color-coded to represent the direction and speed of blood flow.
