DOPPLER ULTRASOUND OF ABDOMINAL AORTA

Service Description

Abdominal aortic and iliac artery Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive study that combines high-resolution ultrasound with color and spectral Doppler technology to evaluate the structure, caliber, and blood flow of the abdominal aorta and its main branches. This examination is essential for the early detection of aneurysms, stenosis, or arterial occlusions, allowing for the safe and radiation-free assessment of abdominal and pelvic arterial perfusion. During the evaluation, the abdominal aorta is analyzed from the diaphragm to its iliac bifurcation, along with the common and external iliac arteries, measuring vascular diameter, flow velocity, and spectral pattern. This study allows for the identification of abnormalities such as: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusion. Aortic thrombosis or dissection. Post-surgical or post-endoprosthesis changes. Flow abnormalities in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Most frequent clinical indications: Persistent abdominal or lower back pain. Suspected or monitored abdominal aortic aneurysm. Vascular risk factors: hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes. Follow-up after vascular surgery or stent/endoprosthesis placement. Evaluation of mesenteric ischemia or advanced atherosclerotic disease. The study is safe, quick, and radiation-free, providing essential hemodynamic information to prevent serious events such as aortic aneurysm rupture, one of the most critical vascular emergencies. Preparation: Fasting for 6 to 8 hours before the exam is recommended to reduce intestinal gas and improve visualization of the aorta and iliac arteries. 📍 Schedule your abdominal aortic Doppler ultrasound and monitor the health of your arteries with high-precision vascular ultrasound.
