Duplex Ultrasound

Duplex ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create pictures of blood vessels and assess their flow. It combines two methods: traditional ultrasound, which provides images of structures, and Doppler ultrasound, which measures the speed and direction of blood flow. This non-invasive procedure is often used to diagnose conditions like blood clots, blocked arteries, or venous insufficiency. It’s painless and does not use radiation, making it a safe option for evaluating vascular health.
