Did you went to any signs of stroke/TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) and/or you are a candidate for a CABG(Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) surgery and your Doctor order a scan above?
Or do you want your self be check as a way to early detection and prevent stroke arising from the Carotid Artery? Then you can go for a scan like above.
Or do you want your self be check as a way to early detection and prevent stroke arising from the Carotid Artery? Then you can go for a scan like above.
It is a scanning that will visualize the carotid artery(the primary main road of blood going to our brain) in real-time using ultrasound machine. If indeed the Carotid has blockage this type of scanning will help to qualify and quantify the degree of the stenosis.
Arterial Duplex Scan
Does your legs ache when you walk in a not distant pace?
Or you got a wound that does not heal for a long time?
Your Doctor might tell you to go a test called Arterial duplex Scan of your legs. This test will visualize the the arteries of your limb from groin down to your feet using ultrasound machine and will show if the blood all the way down to your feet is still flowing good enough.

Venous Duplex Scan
Do you have varicose vein that makes your legs look ugly?
Does your legs look bigger than the normal?
Do you notice any changes in color on the skin?
Your Doctor might tell you to go a test called Venous duplex Scan of your legs. This test will visualize the veins of your limb from groin down to your distal leg using ultrasound machine and will show if there is a blockage. This test will also show blood flowing back in every part of the veins.

Aorto-Iliac Duplex Scan
Does any in your family suffered in a ruptured abdominal Aneurysm?
Do you suffer in a severe abdominal pain regularly after eating?
Are you for Kidney Transplant and your doctor wants to check your iliac artery and vein as the site of connection?
For early detection you can have yourself check for Abdominal Aneurysm which normally do not show symptoms until it ruptures causing you internal bleeding. Or in a different scenario, your Doctor might tell you to do a test like above to visualize the aorta and its branches using ultrasound machine to see if there is any significant blockage.
Renal Duplex Scan
Are you in constant hypertension?
Are you Post Renal Transplant?
Your Doctor might tell you to go to a test called Renal Duplex Scan/Renal Allograft. It's a test that visualize the kidney and check the blood flow and any blockage. In case of after kidney transplant this test will tell possible rejection of the implanted kidney. In some circumstances the test will show also stone, cyst and other anomaly.
Arterial & Venous Mapping
Does your doctor told you that you will be for Dialysis treatment and therefor an Arterial Venous Fistula/Graft needed to be in place?
Your Doctor might tell you to go to a test called Arterial & Venous Mapping. It's a test that visualize all the segments of you peripheral arterial and venous vessels to determine which site will be good for arterial and venous fistula creation or graft placement.
Arterial Venous Fistula/Graft Evaluation
Are you in regular Dialysis Therapy and the technician is having difficulty to hook your Fistula/Graft on the dialysis machine?
Is your arm where the fistula/ graft located has swelling or bigger than the normal?
Your Doctor might tell you to go to a test called Arterial Venous Fistula or Graft Evaluation . It's a test that visualize the fistula/graft and evaluate the blood flow and check any blockages or signs of infection(most often for Graft).Any significant blockages on the fistula/graft will result to less efficiency of the therapy. Nevertheless an infection which mostly happen on graft will result to swelling of the affected part.
