The Ultrasound Doppler IVC scan at Sooriya Diagnostic provides a detailed and non-invasive examination of the inferior vena cava (IVC), the large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body back to the heart. This scan is crucial for diagnosing conditions that affect venous circulation, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous insufficiency, or IVC blockages.

By using Doppler ultrasound technology, the procedure allows for the visualization of blood flow in the IVC, helping doctors assess if there are any abnormalities such as clotting, narrowing, or abnormal blood flow patterns. This is especially important for patients at risk of conditions like blood clots, heart failure, or venous diseases that impact the venous system.

The scan is performed by applying a transducer to the abdomen or lower torso, where sound waves are used to produce real-time images and measurements of blood flow. It is highly recommended for individuals who have symptoms such as swelling in the legs, abdominal discomfort, or for those at risk due to conditions like high blood pressure, varicose veins, or a history of clotting disorders.

The Ultrasound Doppler IVC scan offers a non-invasive, quick, and reliable way to evaluate venous health, providing crucial information that supports diagnosis and treatment planning for venous and circulatory disorders.
