Vascular duplex scanning (ultrasound examination of vessels, duplex/triplex, angioscanning, ultrasound Doppler) is a non-invasive ultrasound diagnostic method that allows you to assess the condition of the vessels and blood flow in them.
Vascular duplex is performed in two modes:
🔹Normal B-mode (allows you to assess the condition of the vessels).
🔹Doppler mode, ultrasound Doppler (blood flow characteristics are determined).
During duplex scanning of vessels, the following parameters are assessed:
-Anatomical structure of arteries and veins
-Structural changes in the lumen and walls (narrowing, expansion, blockage, presence of blood clots, atherosclerotic plaques)
-patency of vessels , -blood flow speed and direction,
-Intimate-media complex,
-atherosclerotic changes in arterial walls.
