The echocolor-Doppler is a noninvasive, rapid and completely safe diagnostic test to assess blood flow in arteries and veins.
Through the use of high-precision ultrasound, the physician can visualize any obstructions, narrowing or changes in the circulation in real time, detecting arterial or venous problems early.

The examination can be performed on different areas of the body:

• Arterial and venous echocolor-Doppler of the lower limbs, useful for analyzing leg circulation and detecting thrombosis, venous insufficiency, or arteriosclerosis;
• Carotid carotid echocolor-Doppler, essential to monitor blood flow in the arteries of the neck and prevent cerebrovascular risks such as stroke or ischemia;
• Abdominal or peripheral echocolor-Doppler, to evaluate the major arteries and veins of the abdomen and internal organs.

During the examination, an ultrasound probe is passed gently over the skin, with a clear gel applied to enhance contact. It is a painless, radiation-free procedure and suitable for all ages, including pregnant women. In some cases, such as for abdominal echocolor-Doppler, a short fast may be required, but in most situations no special preparation is needed.

Arterial and venous echocolor-Doppler is often prescribed in cases of thrombosis, varices, venous insufficiency, or to monitor carotid artery disease and prevent cerebral circulation problems.
It is a safe, repeatable and highly informative examination, ideal for both early diagnosis and preventive monitoring of vascular health.
