The Doppler Ultrasound Bilateral Venous at Sooriya Diagnostic, Kathmandu, is a reliable, non-invasive diagnostic test used to evaluate blood flow in the veins of both the upper or lower limbs. This procedure utilizes ultrasound technology to generate detailed images of venous circulation and assess any abnormal blood flow patterns, such as those seen in deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous insufficiency, or varicose veins.

Using sound waves, the Doppler ultrasound can identify blockages, blood clots, or impaired circulation within the veins. It helps in determining how well the veins are functioning, specifically by measuring blood flow direction and velocity, which can identify areas of restricted or reverse blood flow. This is crucial for diagnosing conditions like DVT, where blood clots form deep within the veins, and venous insufficiency, which occurs when veins are unable to effectively return blood back to the heart.

The procedure is straightforward and safe. A gel is applied to the skin, and a transducer is placed over the area being examined. The sound waves produced by the transducer reflect off the blood cells, producing images that are analyzed by a trained technician or vascular specialist.

This diagnostic test is often recommended for individuals with symptoms like swelling, pain, heaviness in the legs, or skin changes caused by poor blood circulation. It is also helpful for patients with a history of blood clots or those at higher risk due to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or prolonged immobility.

By offering a comprehensive evaluation of venous health, the Doppler Ultrasound Bilateral Venous helps clinicians make informed decisions for treatment and management of venous disorders.
