Doppler Venous Single Limb Test
The ultrasound (USG) Doppler scan measures the volume of blood flow via the arteries and veins that provide blood to a specific limb using high-frequency sound waves (arm or leg). This vascular (blood flow) testing can reveal any problem. Blood clots and irregular blood circulation can be discovered and diagnosed. Typically, arterial obstruction and blood coagulation create irregular or diminished blood flow to the limb. The USG Doppler scan may also detect blood pressure in the arteries and veins. This scan is advised for those who have deep vein thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, arteriosclerosis, or thromboangiitis obliterans.

Preparation for Doppler ultrasound Venous single limb test
There is no need for any special preparation. Consult your doctor about your health condition, current medications, addiction, and lifestyle. Follow the doctor’s instructions for preparing for the USG Doppler scan. Smoking is prohibited for many hours before the scan. Smoking increases blood vessel constriction, which impacts the USG Doppler scan result. It is advised that you do not wear jewelry or a wristwatch to the scan. Glasses, contacts, dentures, and hearing aids are permitted. There is no need to fast.
Uses of ultrasound Doppler Venous single limb test
A normal scan result shows no abnormalities, such as blood clots or narrowed or blocked veins and arteries. It implies that blood pressure and flow are both normal. An abnormal scan report indicates poor blood circulation, narrow and blocked veins and arteries, venous occlusion, and abnormal blood pressure.
Procedure for ultrasound Doppler Venous single Limb test
The procedure just takes a few minutes and is painless, non-invasive, and radiation-free. You will be made to wear a hospital gown and asked to lie down on the examination table. Blood pressure cuffs will be applied to your thigh, calf, ankle, and different points along your limb. This makes it simple to study blood pressure at various places along the leg. A water-soluble gel will be applied to the transducer by the radiologist.
The transducer is connected to a computer screen where scan images are visible. When the transducer comes in contact with the skin, high-frequency sound waves are directed to the arteries and veins. The sound waves echo off the blood vessels and scan information is sent through the cable that connects the transducer to the computer screen. The transducer is moved along the limb and the ‘whooshing’ sound of blood flow is heard. Normal activities can be resumed after the USG Doppler scan session.

What do Abnormal Results Mean?
Unusual outcomes could be caused by:
- blood clot-induced arterial blockage
- a vein-related blood clot (DVT)
- artery narrowing or widening
