Doplar

[waylen]

Hi, can anyone tell me what a doplar clinic is. I can only find reference to doppler.

Doppler clinic...not doplar.

Think it is when your Veins/Arteries are tested for blockages.

I would imagine where they will carry out diagnostic doppler tests?

Definition
Doppler ultrasonography is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that changes sound waves into an image that can be viewed on a monitor.
Purpose
Doppler ultrasonography can detect the direction, velocity, and turbulence of blood flow. It is frequently used to detect problems with heart valves or to measure blood flow through the arteries. Specifically, it is useful in the work up of stroke patients, in assessing blood flow in the abdomen or legs, and in viewing the heart to monitor carotid artery diseases.

Also used for ultrasound imaging during pregnancy....

hi, my mum had a doplar test a week or so ago, she had this as she is diabetic. this test is basically to put blood pressure cuffs round your arms/ankles, inflate them and find your pulse. after that they are deflated whilst nurse/doc listen to the pulse rate on a machine.
