Vascular ultrasound is a non-invasive painless test that uses high-frequency sound waves to image blood vessels, including arteries and veins. Using a special form of ultrasound called Doppler, the speed and direction of flowing blood can be measured and illustrated in color pictures. This Doppler technique allows radiologists to find blocked blood vessels.
Vascular ultrasound does not use ionizing radiation and has no known harmful effects.
