Doppler sonography (ultrasonography, duplex angioscanning) vessels in Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic
About the clinic
Doppler sonography for vessels at Prof. Öztekin Oto Heart Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, checks for arterial and venous issues such as clotting or plaque. The clinic uses a high-tech color Doppler device to assess blood flow and vessel health. This diagnostic is performed on-site in Kadıköy and provides immediate information for vascular planning.
Diagnostic capabilities
Color Doppler ultrasonography, also known as duplex angioscanning, identifies several vascular conditions. It detects deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous insufficiency, and atherosclerosis. The scan shows the exact location and degree of vessel disease, including plaque buildup and varix formation. These findings help determine the need for specific vascular procedures.
- Physical examination. A thorough manual check by a specialist precedes the scanning process.
- Arterial and venous assessment. The device monitors both types of vessels to find blockages or leaking valves.
- Painless experience. The examination causes no discomfort or pain for the patient.
- Surgeon interpretation. An experienced cardiovascular surgeon reviews the images to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
- Treatment planning. Results guide the technical approach for endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) and sclerotherapy.
