Welcome to a primer on Upper and Lower Extremity duplex sonography.… Read More Arterial Sonography of the Upper and Lower Extremities
Transcranial Doppler is used to identify and interrogate the intracerebral arterial system. Normally the skull is impenetrable to Ultrasound waves, but using certain windows allows adequate penetration to monitor cerebrovascular hemodynamics.… Read More Transcranial Doppler
The brain is fed oxygenated blood by paired vessels that arises from the aortic arch.… Read More Carotid Duplex
Veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood toward the heart (with the exception of the pulmonary and portal veins which carry oxygen rich blood to the left atrium and liver respectively). … Read More Lower Extremity Venous Duplex Protocol
The renal veins are paired blood vessels that return blood back to the IVC. The left renal vein is the longer one and courses between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta. It is important to visualize these vessels to rule out Renal Vein Thrombosis, or Nutcracker syndrome.… Read More Renal Artery Doppler
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is a focal dilatation of the Aorta caused by degeneration of the tunica media (middle connective layer of the arterial wall).… Read More Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Red blood cell (RBC) rouleaux formation is a reversible phenomenon that occurs during low blood flow and small shearing forces in circulation.… Read More Rouleaux
