Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasound is a useful method to examine the arteries and veins in the body. Not only is the structure of blood vessels assessed, but using a special technique called Doppler,  measurements can be done to determine direction, speed of flowing blood and  pressure in the vessels.  

It is a useful investigation to help diagnose conditions such as

• Detecting blood clots ( thrombosis) in the veins.
• Determining the location and severity of varicose veins, by locating poorly functioning valves
• Identify and characterise blockages ( stenosis) in the arteries of the neck and legs causing decreased circulation
• Determine if there is enlargement of an artery ( aneurysm)
• Evaluate the success of  procedures such as bypass grafts.
• Evaluate the circulation in tumours.

NB: Patients Must Bring Old X-Rays and scans for all procedures!
