Service Providers for Duplex Study of Abdominal aorta and its branches
A Duplex Study of the abdominal aorta and its branches is a non-invasive ultrasound test used to assess blood flow and structure in the abdominal aorta and its major branches. This test helps diagnose conditions such as abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), atherosclerosis (plaque buildup), stenosis (narrowing of arteries), or arterial blockages. During the procedure, a gel is applied to the skin, and a transducer is moved over the abdomen to capture images of the aorta and measure blood flow using Doppler technology. The test is generally painless, although mild pressure may be felt. Results help guide treatment options, including medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery if necessary.
