Duplex Doppler: Prevent, Detect & Treat Vascular Disease

Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Duplex Doppler can be used to prevent, detect and help formulate a treatment program for vascular disease. It is not uncommon for people with dizziness, pain, weakness, numbness, or limb swelling to have conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol. Since these complaints can be due to both vascular and neurologic disorders, it can become a bit complex to decide what role they play in any individual case.

Vascular Doppler studies can be very helpful in the treatment of vascular disease. Vascular Doppler can be compared to diagnostic ultrasound, or sonar, for the blood vessels. The Vascular Doppler probe has a special crystal within it that is used for sending the ultrasound waves into the tissue, and a “receive” crystal is used to “collect” the returning ultrasound waves as they “bounce” off the blood cells. : Vascular Doppler: Help Treat Vascular Disease
