Vascular Ultrasound or Duplex Scan

Ultrasound examination of blood vessels holds a primary place among diagnostic methods due to its high informativeness, non-invasiveness, and the ability to repeatedly perform dynamic monitoring without harming the patient's health. The high visualization capability of the equipment broadens the possibilities for detecting pathologies and provides a more accurate representation of tissue microstructure, enhancing diagnostic efficiency and treatment effectiveness at the early stages of disease development.

General information

Vascular ultrasound (duplex scan) is a non-invasive method that helps assess vessel patency, blood flow speed, and the condition of vessel walls. It is used to detect blood clots, atherosclerotic changes, narrowing, aneurysms, and other conditions that may lead to serious health complications.
