What is Doppler ultrasound of the arteries?
Doppler ultrasound (Doppler ultrasound) allows you to examine the arteries.
The patient lies on his back.
The doctor moves an ultrasonic probe along the patient's skin, directed to the arteries, and thus measures the speed of the blood.
This examination allows you to measure the diameter of the arteries and examine the condition of their inner wall.
Normally, the inner wall of blood vessels is smooth, but when cholesterol plaques are present, they are irregularly shaped.
Due to the Doppler effect, seals inside the arteries (arteritis) can be detected.
