About Colour Doppler (Arterial & Venous) Upper Limb – Single Limb
The Ultrasound Colour Doppler (Arterial & Venous) single limb scan procedure is a non-invasive ultrasound procedure to visualise the blood flow of one arm, both arteries and veins. It can aid in the diagnosis of vascular issues like narrowing of the arteries, blood clots, venous reflux, and circulation issues.
The Doppler ultrasound systems are state-of-the-art equipment available at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which allows for real-time flow visualization and more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What is a Colour Doppler (Arterial & Venous) Upper Limb Scan?
A Colour Doppler ultrasound is a real-time imaging procedure employing high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of blood flow through the arteries and veins of the upper limb, color-coded by blood flow. This scan can be used to assess:
Arterial narrowing (stenosis) or blockage
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Venous insufficiency and valve dysfunction
Blood vessel injuries
Peripheral arterial disease affecting the upper limb
Blood flow after arterial reconstruction, bypass grafts, or vascular surgery
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and completely radiation-free.
Common Reasons for a Colour Doppler Upper Limb – Single Limb Scan
Arm pain or swelling
Suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Poor circulation or numbness in the arm
Evaluation of arterial blockages

डॉक्टर द्वारा विशेष रूप से सलाह न दिए जाने पर किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
जांच के दौरान सुविधा के लिए ढीले और आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएं ताकि जांच वाले हाथ तक आसानी से पहुंचा जा सके।
जांच वाले दिन हाथ पर कोई क्रीम, लोशन या तेल न लगाएं।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो अपनी पुरानी डॉप्लर जांच, अल्ट्रासाउंड, एंजियोग्राफी रिपोर्ट या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
नियमित दवाइयाँ डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार जारी रखें।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुंचें।
यदि आपको पहले डीवीटी (DVT), रक्त वाहिका सर्जरी, बाईपास ग्राफ्ट, स्टेंट या डायलिसिस फिस्टुला हुआ है, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजिस्ट को दें।
The patient is asked to lie comfortably on the examination table.
A water-based ultrasound gel is applied over the arm being examined.
A Doppler ultrasound probe is moved gently over the skin to evaluate blood flow in the arteries and veins of the upper limb.
Colour Doppler imaging is used to visualize the direction and speed of blood flow in real time.
The scan assesses arterial narrowing, blockages, venous insufficiency, vascular injuries, and blood clots if present.
Blood flow patterns and vessel function are recorded for diagnostic evaluation.
Additional measurements may be performed when clinically indicated.
The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and does not involve radiation exposure.
The examination usually takes approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on the clinical indication and complexity of the study.
