Doppler Ultrasound Scanning of Vessels in Israel

Ultrasound of the vessels provides a clear picture of the structure of blood vessels, while Doppler scanning shows the movement of blood flow in the examined vessels. The study is most informative for determining blood flow disturbances, changes in vessel walls, measuring vessel diameters, and locating thrombi.

During a standard ultrasound, ultrasound waves are reflected from the walls of the vessels, and the computer equipment converts the signals into a two-dimensional image, displaying a black-and-white image of the vessel on the monitor.

Doppler examination involves the reflection of ultrasound waves from moving particles, particularly from erythrocytes. The speed of the returning signal directly depends on the speed of the movement of blood particles. By converting the obtained signals into a two-dimensional image, the computer system provides a picture of the movement of erythrocytes within the vessel. When an obstruction (thrombus) or narrowing of the vessel walls is present, changes are displayed on the screen.

At the "Top Ichilov" Medical Center, by combining these two studies into one, specialists can effectively assess both the condition of the vessels and diagnose any anomalies within them.

Thus, a diagnosis is made in cases of:

• occlusive diseases of the carotid arteries (cerebral circulation disorders);
• pathologies of the lower extremity vessels (deep vein thrombosis, obliterative atherosclerosis, arterial aneurysms);
• pathologies of the upper extremity vessels (thoracic outlet syndrome, Raynaud's disease, venous thrombosis);
• occlusive lesions of the aorta and iliac vessels;
• varicose changes in the veins of the lower extremities;
• aneurysms of the thoracic and abdominal sections of the aorta.
