Common procedures
Doppler ultrasound
Performed in Radiology and medical imaging.
What is it?
A Doppler ultrasound combines a standard ultrasound with a measure of blood flow. It shows how blood moves through arteries and veins.
What to expect
You lie down, gel is put on the skin and a probe is moved over it; you need to stay still. There is usually no preparation, and you may feel only light pressure.
