Get your Colour Doppler of the Left Upper Limb Arteries at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an advanced Radiology & Diagnostic Imaging NABL & NABH Accredited USG Diagnostic Centre. This is done by a non-invasive ultrasound imaging test using ultrasound and Doppler technology, which is used to test the arteries of the left arm. To check the blood flow in the arteries, to check if any of the arteries in the arm and hand are narrowed or blocked, or if blood does not flow as well as it should.

About USG CD - Left Upper Limb Arterial

USG Colour Doppler of the Left Upper Limb Arterial System is an advanced vascular ultrasound examination to assess the blood vessels which provide blood to the left arm and hand. It gives details of the structure of the vessels, the flow of blood through the vessels, and the changes in morphology of the vessels. Accessibility of arteries of the upper arm and forearm checked; other arteries (if clinically indicated) checked. May be recommended for patients with pain, coldness, colour changes, or other symptoms suggesting lack of good circulation to the arms.

What is USG CD - Left Upper Limb Arterial?

USG CD is a system developed to investigate the blood flow in the arteries of the left upper limb with the use of the Colour Doppler, spectral Doppler methods, and normal ultrasound. It creates pictures of the arteries and evaluates the flow of blood through them: its direction, pattern, and speed. The ultrasound examination can assist with diagnosing narrowed/blocked arteries and some specific abnormalities in the blood supply to the left upper arm. 

Common Reasons for USG CD - Left Upper Limb Arterial

• Arm Pain: Explores pain that can be connected with decreased blood supply.
• Arterial Narrowing: Detects the possible narrowing of the arteries.
• Arterial Blockage: Shows whether or not an artery being evaluated is blocked.
• Vascular Injury: May be requested to look at the blood vessels after some injuries.
• Post-Procedure Assessment: Assesses the flow of blood after selected vascular procedures as directed by clinical assessment.
• Follow-up Examinations: May be conducted to check known arterial abnormalities or following treatment to see if there is any change.

Conditions Evaluated

Arterial Stenosis

The test can aid in determining obstructions in the artery that could reduce blood flow to the left arm and hand. The Doppler measurements are used to obtain information on the pattern of blood flow in blood vessels studied.

Arterial Occlusion

However, Colour Doppler ultrasound can be employed to detect the presence of any partially or completely blocked arteries. The findings may help doctors determine abnormal blood flow and influence their recommendations for further tests.

Reduced Arterial Circulation

This test checks blood flow in blood vessels towards the left upper arm. Altered flow patterns may be a sign of poor circulation and warrant clinical evaluation.

Vascular Injury

In a selected number of cases, arterial Doppler ultrasound may be useful in identifying vascular damage and in the assessment of blood flow anomalies. Depending on the injury suspected and clinical findings, additional imaging might be necessary.

Peripheral Arterial Disorders

The scan can be used to examine the blood vessels and their structure, which might assist in diagnosing some conditions affecting the blood vessels of the arm.

Follow-Up of Arterial Conditions

USG Colour Doppler can be ordered to follow up vascular procedures or as follow-up for vascular treatment and/or for known arterial abnormalities.

Book Your USG CD - Left Upper Limb Arterial

Please make an arrangement to have USG Colour Doppler Left Upper Limb Arterial System performed using the Doctor's prescription, if applicable. Take medications, Doppler results and/or medical records (if available). Inform the imaging staff about any previous vascular procedures, known circulation problems, unusual coldness or colour changes, and current symptoms.
