Complex ultrasound for differential diagnosis with digital image and video documentation: Complex ultrasound of vascular system with quantitative analysis for differential diagnosis
You have had an ultrasound test done on your blood vessels.
An ultrasound examination involves sending ultrasound waves from an ultrasound probe in the body. Depending on the structure of the tissue, different numbers of ultrasound waves are reflected. These waves are then converted to images that can be viewed on a screen.
To examine the blood vessels, an ultrasound probe is placed on the skin. In this way the blood vessels lying beneath the skin can be viewed. Special ultrasound methods can be used to examine the blood flow in the blood vessels. For example, the blood flow can be made audible as a sound, or shown in different colors on the screen.
