The procedure is an alternative to arteriography and venography. May help to diagnose a blood clot, or venous insufficiency, arterial

occlusion “closing”, ulceration, varicose veins, chronic DVT, edema.

The test assesses blood flow and is used to detect stenotic “hardening”, thrombotic, “ clots “, and occlusive disease in which the arteries are

closed.

The procedure is performed to evaluate the valves and chambers of the heart in a noninvasive

manner, to aid the diagnosis of cardiomyopathies, to detect atrial tumors orpericardial effusions abnormal fluid collection around the heart, or to evaluate cardiac wall motion and function after a heart attack. Additionally, spectral Doppler and Color Flow Doppler allow to determinate various degree of heart valves regurgitation.

The procedure is performed to evaluate liver anatomy and physiology, diffuse liver disease and focal lesions and portal hypertension, and retroperitoneum, aorta, IVC, iliac. Also evaluates biliary tree and pancreas, cholecystitis and gallbladder carcinoma, biliary obstruction, pancreas anatomy, physiology, pancreatitis, pancreas carcinoma. Renal anatomy and physiology, renal variants, parenchymal renal disease and CRF, benign focal lesions of the kidneys, renal carcinoma and metastasis. In addition we diagnose for splenomegaly, portal hypertension as in cirrhosis. Budd Chiari syndrome, hematologic diseases myelofibrosis, lymphoma, splenic trauma. The reason for this test depends on your symptoms and the body system being examined.

Thyroid examination performs to rule out and to differentiate between a cyst (an abnormal sac containing a fluid, gas, or semisolid substance) and a tumor (abnormal tissue growth which may or may not be cancerous, goiter, thyroid mass.

Prostate examination is used to detect a benign prostatic hyperplasia, lesions, and prostate carcinoma. Scrotum & testicles procedure detects epididymitis, orchitis, hydrocele, varicocele, spermatocele, epididymal cyst, cryptorchidism, or undescended testicle (s), testicular torsion, and seminoma. Urinary bladder the procedure is most commonly used torule out ureterocele, systitis, bladder polyp, bladder diverticulum, bladder stone, and transitional cell carcinoma. Pelvic the procedure is used to diagnose palpable pelvic mass (to determine solid cystic, mixed), location of lost IUD, pelvic infection and post-surgical complication.
