Diagnosis of blood vessels: the brain, lower extremities, neck

One of them( the most famous and popular) - Doppler study, shows the real state of blood flow in the vessels of the circulatory system of man.

With the help of Doppler studies it is possible to determine the speed and direction of blood flow, the calculation of internal pressure in the vessels and the dimensions of the lumen in the vessels .

Doppler examination is performed using ultrasound.

It is possible to perform ultrasound of vessels:

• of the brain;
• of the limbs;
• of the abdominal cavity;
• of the vessels in the fetus during pregnancy.

Diagnosis of vessels using Doppler is painless, absolutely harmless and does not require any special preparation.

Diagnosis of cerebral vessels

Ultrasonic vascular diagnostics is one of the most important methods for studying diseases of the vessels of the spinal cord, brain and neck.

Doppler allows you to assess the quality of blood supply, identify areas of enlargement or narrowing of arteries located in the brain.

Ultrasound diagnosis is recommended for all people who are concerned:

• frequent syncope;
• attacks of dizziness, headaches;
• as well as with strokes( disorders of the blood supply to the brain);
• aneurysm( thinning or widening of the artery).

In parallel with the Doppler examination of the brain vessels, ultrasound diagnosis of the neck vessels serving the brain( vertebral arteries, carotid arteries) is performed.

What diseases can be detected using ultrasound of the brain vessels

An ultrasound can diagnose the following diseases:

• stenosis of the cerebral artery( narrowing of the arteries supplying the brain nutrition);
• of vascular aneurysm( enlarged areas of vessels with thin walls that can burst);
• atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels( often develops in obese elderly hypertensives).

Diagnosis of large blood vessels and heart

Ultrasound diagnosis of the heart can detect such diseases:

• defects of the mitral valve( change in the diameter of the hole between the left ventricle and the left atrium);
• congenital heart disease.

In addition, diagnosis can reveal many other diseases of large vessels and heart, as well as determine the working parameters of the heart.

Diagnosis of lower extremities vessels

Ultrasound of the vessels of the legs is usually suggested to be performed if there are symptoms of venous or arterial disease of the legs.

Ultrasound of the vessels of the legs is recommended for people with such symptoms:

• pain in the legs;
• heaviness in the legs;
• fatigue in movement and walking;
• tingling of the skin of the feet;
• high stop sensitivity to low temperature;
• ulcers on the skin of the shins;
• swelling of the legs;
• visible dilated veins on the legs( varicose veins).

Diagnosis of leg vessels helps to identify the following diseases:

• thrombosis;
• varicose veins;
• obliterating endarteritis;
• atherosclerosis of the arteries in the lower limbs.
