Dupleksultrahelil

Dupleksultrahelil, also known as duplex ultrasound, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that combines two forms of ultrasound: B-mode imaging and Doppler ultrasound. B-mode imaging provides a two-dimensional anatomical picture of the blood vessels, showing their structure and any abnormalities like blockages or widening. Doppler ultrasound, on the other hand, measures the speed and direction of blood flow within those vessels. By integrating these two modes, duplex ultrasound offers a comprehensive view of both the vessel's anatomy and its functional status.

This technique is particularly useful for evaluating arteries and veins throughout the body, including those in the neck (carotid arteries), legs (peripheral arteries and veins), and abdomen. It is commonly employed to detect and assess conditions such as atherosclerosis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), arterial stenosis, aneurysms, and vascular malformations. The procedure involves applying a transducer, a handheld device, to the skin over the area of interest, often with the help of a coupling gel. The transducer emits sound waves that travel into the body, reflect off blood cells and vessel walls, and are then interpreted by the machine to create the images and flow data. Duplex ultrasound is generally painless, safe, and does not involve radiation, making it a valuable diagnostic tool in vascular medicine.
