What can a vascular ultrasound show?
Ultrasound helps assess the structure of blood vessels, the condition of their walls, their patency, and the direction and speed of blood flow. The examination can detect narrowing, blood clots, atherosclerotic plaques, impaired venous return, and other abnormalities.
What is the difference between Doppler ultrasound and duplex scanning?
Doppler ultrasound primarily assesses blood flow characteristics. Duplex scanning combines blood flow assessment with imaging of the blood vessel itself and the surrounding tissues. This allows the doctor to examine the vessel's structure and blood flow simultaneously.
What should I avoid before a vascular Doppler ultrasound?
General restrictions depend on the area being examined. Before the procedure, it is advisable to avoid smoking, alcohol, energy drinks, and excessive caffeine intake, as these may affect vascular tone. Do not stop taking prescribed medications without consulting your doctor.
How should I prepare for a vascular ultrasound?
Special preparation is usually not required when examining the blood vessels of the head, neck, or limbs. Wear comfortable clothing, avoid applying cream to the area being examined, and bring previous test results. If the abdominal blood vessels are being examined, specific dietary restrictions may be necessary.
How long does vascular duplex scanning take?
The duration depends on the number and location of the blood vessels being examined. Scanning a single area usually takes less time than a comprehensive examination of several vascular regions. You can confirm the expected duration when booking your appointment.
When should I have a vascular Doppler ultrasound?
The examination may be recommended for swelling, pain or heaviness in the legs, varicose veins, numbness in the limbs, dizziness, ringing in the ears, or suspected blood flow disorders. Seek urgent medical attention if you experience sudden swelling in one limb, speech difficulties, facial asymmetry, or sudden weakness.

No special preparation is required.
The patient lies down or sits in a semi-reclined position on the examination couch. A special gel is applied to the examination area, after which the doctor moves the ultrasound probe over the skin to assess the condition of the blood vessels and blood flow in real time. If necessary, the patient may be asked to hold their breath or change body position to allow a more accurate assessment of blood circulation.
The procedure is painless, involves no radiation exposure, and is suitable for patients of all ages, including children and older adults.
Immediately after the examination, the patient receives a written medical report.
At ZDRAVO medical center, Doppler ultrasound of the blood vessels is performed using modern ultrasound technology that allows doctors to assess blood flow in arteries and veins, detect vascular narrowing, impaired circulation, and other pathological changes.
This examination helps evaluate the condition of the blood vessels in the head and neck, identify early signs of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, or impaired cerebral circulation. The procedure is painless, safe, and requires no special preparation.
If you experience headaches, dizziness, or other symptoms of impaired blood circulation, your doctor may recommend a Doppler ultrasound examination of the blood vessels to clarify the diagnosis.
Ultrasound Dopplerography (Doppler ultrasound) is a diagnostic method that uses ultrasound waves to assess the speed and direction of blood flow. This allows the doctor to determine how well blood circulates through the arteries and veins.
Doppler ultrasound is widely used to diagnose vascular disorders and helps detect:
This examination is often prescribed by neurologists, cardiologists, and family physicians when vascular diseases are suspected.
A more advanced method of vascular examination is duplex ultrasound scanning.
Unlike conventional Doppler ultrasound, this technique allows the doctor to simultaneously evaluate:
As a result, duplex scanning provides a more detailed and accurate diagnosis of vascular diseases.
It is recommended to undergo this examination if you experience symptoms that may indicate impaired blood circulation in the brain’s blood vessels.
Main indications for the examination:
The examination is also recommended for people at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.
This examination helps diagnose:
Early diagnosis helps prevent serious complications, including stroke and thromboembolism.
The procedure is safe, non-invasive, and comfortable for the patient. Depending on the area being examined, a vascular ultrasound (including Doppler ultrasound or duplex scanning) typically takes 20–30 minutes.
During the examination:
In some cases, the doctor may ask the patient to hold their breath or change body position to obtain a more accurate assessment of blood circulation.
The procedure is painless, involves no radiation exposure, and can be safely performed on patients of all ages, including children and older adults.
At ZDRAVO, patients can undergo advanced vascular diagnostics using high-precision ultrasound systems.
Our advantages:
✔ modern diagnostic equipment✔ experienced ultrasound specialists✔ accurate and detailed interpretation of results✔ fast reporting of examination findings✔ comfortable environment with no waiting lines
Patients receive not only their examination results but also recommendations for further treatment or prevention of vascular diseases.
The cost of the examination depends on the type of study and the scope of diagnostics. The exact price is determined based on the area being examined and the complexity of the procedure, as patients may undergo vascular ultrasound of different parts of the body, including the neck, head, or lower limbs.
At ZDRAVO Medical Center, patients receive not only accurate diagnostics but also a comfortable examination experience.
You can check the current price of the examination with the administrator or when scheduling your appointment.
If your doctor has recommended checking the condition of your blood vessels or you are experiencing symptoms of impaired circulation, do not postpone the examination. Early diagnosis helps detect blood flow disorders and prevent serious complications.
Schedule a consultation with a neurologist, vascular specialist, or ultrasound physician at medical center ZDRAVO and undergo a vascular examination at a time that is convenient for you.
