How it works

Using the probe, the doctor follows the blood flow in arteries and veins and measures any narrowing. Colour Doppler shows both direction and speed of the flow.

The scan takes about 30–40 minutes. The doctor explains the result and recommendations straight afterwards.

Preparation

No preparation needed.

You do not need to prepare. Loose clothing helps when the legs are examined.
