Doppler – Arterial Doppler (2 Limbs) is a specialized ultrasound examination that assesses blood circulation in the arteries of two limbs (either both arms or both legs). It uses Doppler technology to visualize arterial blood flow, measure velocity, and detect abnormalities.

This scan is highly effective in diagnosing conditions such as arterial narrowing (stenosis), blockages, peripheral artery disease (PAD), reduced blood supply, and vascular insufficiency. It is particularly useful for patients experiencing symptoms in both limbs, such as pain, cramps, numbness, or cold extremities.

The test provides real-time imaging and helps in evaluating the severity and extent of arterial disease. It is commonly recommended for patients with diabetes, hypertension, smoking history, or other risk factors for vascular disease.

MRI offers excellent visualization of blood flow dynamics, making it valuable for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring response to therapy.

The procedure is safe, non-invasive, painless, and does not involve radiation, making it suitable for repeated monitoring.

The purpose of this Doppler – Arterial Doppler (2 Limbs) test is to:

• Evaluate arterial blood flow in both limbs
• Detect narrowing or blockages in arteries
• Diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD)
• Assess reduced blood supply or circulation issues
• Evaluate causes of pain, cramps, or numbness
• Monitor arterial conditions and treatment
