Frequently Asked Questions About Doppler
A Doppler is an ultrasound exam that evaluates blood circulation, allowing visualization of arteries and veins and detection of problems such as thrombosis, varicose veins, and obstructions.
It depends on the type of Doppler. For carotid and limb Doppler, fasting is not required. For abdominal Doppler, fasting for 6 to 8 hours is usually required.
The Doppler exam takes an average of 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the region examined and the complexity of the case.
No, the Doppler exam is painless. You may feel slight pressure from the transducer on the skin, but it does not cause pain.
