Doppler sonography (ultrasonography, duplex angioscanning) vessels in B-Life Clinic
About the clinic
Doppler sonography at B-Life Clinic in Cascais, Portugal, evaluates the blood flow in the carotid and vertebral vessels. A standalone carotid Doppler ultrasound at this facility typically runs around $200. This diagnostic helps identify vascular issues through non-invasive imaging techniques.
The clinic provides targeted examinations to assess the health of major arteries supplying the brain. Patients may choose a specific carotid Doppler ultrasound or receive the scan as part of a more extensive check-up. The procedure uses sound waves to create images of the blood vessels and measure how blood moves through them.
Diagnostic details and features
- Carotid Doppler ultrasound. Focuses on the carotid arteries to check for blockages or narrowing.
- Vertebral vessel assessment. Examines the arteries at the back of the neck during the sonography.
- Specialist review. Three sub-specialized radiologists review the images for patients undergoing the Full Body Scan protocol.
- Non-invasive method. Uses standard Doppler ultrasound equipment without the need for radiation or contrast dyes.
B-Life Clinic offers these screenings in a modern outpatient setting in Cascais. The multi-radiologist review process provides a detailed analysis of the vascular system. Results from these scans assist in monitoring cardiovascular health. Those interested in a vascular assessment can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Clinical Expertise and Leadership
Dr. Joana Costa leads the clinic. She specializes in longevity and family medicine and holds a Lifestyle Medicine certification from Harvard Medical School.

Specialties and Preventive Care
B-Life Clinic functions as a longevity center rather than a traditional diagnostic facility. The medical team focuses on several key areas:
- Longevity Medicine: Specialists use a "Longevity Board" to decode biological age and build resilience plans.
- Cardiology: The team manages hypertension and cardiovascular risks through sports cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation.
- Orthopedics and Sports Medicine: Surgeons specialize in knee pathology and complex injuries like ACL tears.
- Nephrology: Doctors manage chronic kidney conditions using functional and lifestyle medicine approaches.
- Physiotherapy: The "Recovery" program uses targeted techniques to reduce pain and prevent training injuries.
The clinic also offers neurology consultations for cognitive performance and gastroenterology for gut health.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
The clinic uses a proprietary Full Body Scan protocol developed exclusively for its patients. This advanced imaging is performed with Primum Imagem to detect silent health threats. The procedure is non-invasive – no intravenous contrast or ionizing radiation. It includes 14 summarized MRI scans that give a detailed view of internal health.
Every scan goes through a rigorous "post-scan review" process. Three sub-specialized radiologists interpret the results to maximize accuracy. Patients then receive a structured assessment of their current health status. This high-precision data helps the Longevity Board optimize physical performance and long-term recovery.
Services for International Patients
B-Life Clinic offers a structured journey for patients traveling from abroad. Staff provide consultations in both English and Portuguese. The diagnostic process is integrated, from initial consultation to final imaging interpretation. This means international visitors receive a complete health plan during their stay in Cascais.
