Arterial Evaluation with Color Doppler Ultrasound
Color Doppler Ultrasound is a safe, radiation-free imaging method that examines the structure, wall thickness, and blood flow of arteries in detail.
10 - 20 min
It is commonly used to diagnose arterial blockages, narrowing (stenosis), plaque formation, and circulation disorders.
This examination is indicated when there is leg pain while walking, cold feet when standing, numbness, color changes in the feet, weakness in the arms, or suspicion of arterial blockage in the neck. The procedure is painless and usually takes 10–20 minutes.
With Color Doppler, the direction, speed, and patency of blood flow in the arteries can be clearly assessed. This helps in creating an accurate treatment plan and preventing disease progression.
To determine the cause of arterial complaints and obtain a correct diagnosis, you can have a Color Doppler Ultrasound performed. For appointments and detailed information, please contact us.
- Leg pain that occurs with walking and subsides with rest (intermittent claudication)
- Cold, pale, or discolored legs or feet
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the feet
- Non-healing wounds, necrosis, or gangrene in the feet or toes
- Suspected diabetic foot or circulation problems
- Sudden severe leg or foot pain with coldness and color change (acute arterial occlusion suspicion)
- Weak or absent pulses
- To assess the extent and severity in patients with known peripheral artery disease
- For follow-up in patients who have previously undergone arterial interventions (balloon, stent, or surgery)
- Screening in individuals with vascular risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension, or hyperlipidemia
- Pre-procedural mapping before planned endovascular or surgical arterial interventions
- Non-invasive and painless: No incision, needle, or anesthesia is required
- Radiation-free: Can be safely repeated if necessary
- Real-time evaluation: Artery structure, diameter, and blood flow can be observed instantly
- Early detection of narrowing and blockage: The severity of peripheral artery disease can be accurately assessed
- Measures flow speed and direction: Allows evaluation of the hemodynamic significance of stenosis
- Detailed assessment of all arterial segments: Both superficial and deep arteries can be evaluated together
- Guides treatment planning: Ensures accurate vascular mapping before balloon, stent, or surgical procedures
- Effective for follow-up: Post-procedure patency and blood flow can be safely monitored
- High patient comfort: The procedure is quick, and patients can immediately return to daily activities
- Safe for high-risk groups: Can be performed without contrast agents in patients with diabetes, kidney failure, or advanced age
- Individuals experiencing leg pain with walking
- Those suspected of having arterial stiffness (atherosclerosis)
- Patients with a history of diabetes, hypertension, or smoking
- Individuals at risk for arterial blockage
This examination can be safely performed in all age groups, as long as it is deemed appropriate by a doctor.
Since Color Doppler Ultrasound is a diagnostic examination, no rest is required afterward. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the evaluation. Based on the findings, follow-up Doppler examinations may be scheduled at regular intervals if deemed necessary.
