Eastern Diagnostics’ resolve to provide advanced diagnostic services is exemplified through its offer of state-of –the-art Colour Doppler ultrasound technology. This non-invasive test is crucial for diagnosing and managing vascular disorders and conditions. The test combines traditional ultrasound with Colour Doppler technique to visualize blood flow in the arteries and veins. This helps clinicians and doctors to assess condition of the circulatory system, for valuable insights into the health and function of blood vessels.
Understanding Colour Doppler Test
The test creates detailed images of blood vessels by bouncing high frequency sound waves off circulating red blood cells. Compared to traditional black-and white images that show the structure of blood vessels, Colour Doppler generates colour-coded images. These colours indicate the speed and direction of blood flow, enabling professionals detect abnormalities that could signify a range of vascular issues.
Identifying Vascular Disorders
Vascular disorders can lead to serious health complications, if not diagnosed and treated early. Colour Doppler is instrumental in identifying a variety of these disorders:
- Arterial and Venous Insufficiency – Occurs when arteries and veins do not adequately circulate blood. Colour Doppler detects areas of reduced or blocked blood flow, aiding in the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – A serious condition where blood clots form in the deep veins of the leg. Colour Doppler visualizes blood flow, or lack of it indicating presence of a clot.
- Aneurysms – Ananeurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery. Colour Doppler identifies the size and shape of aneurysm, for assessing risk of rupture.
- Carotid Artery Disease – Narrowing or blockage of the carotid arteries, which increases the risk of stroke. Colour Doppler helps professionals evaluate blood flow through these arteries to find the extent of the disease.
Advantages of Colour Doppler Test
The benefits of Colour Doppler tests are manifold, making them an invaluable tool in vascular diagnostics:
- Non-invasive and Safe – With no need forneedles, dyes or radiation, Colour Doppler is absolutely safe for all patients, including those with allergies or kidney ailments.
- Real-time Diagnosis – It provides immediate results, allowing for quick diagnosis and early treatment of vascular disorders.
- Detailed Assessment – The images offer detailed information about blood flow and vessel health, aiding precise diagnosis and treatment.
Eastern Diagnostics’ Dedication
Integration of Colour Doppler tests into its diagnostic services is a clear proof of Eastern Diagnostics’ dedication to utilize advanced technology for early detection and management of vascular disorders. The tests have become an indispensable tool in the fight against vascular diseases. Colour Doppler’s ability to provide real-time, accurate assessments ensure that its patients receive the highest standard of care and treatment.
