Vascular Ultrasound is a progressive non-invasive ultrasound method that has become really popular in recent years. Non-invasive refers the procedure does not require needles or any kind of anesthesia. Vascular ultrasound is used to examine the blood circulation in the arteries and the veins of our body. It is somehow the most important system of our body because it consists of vessels that carry the blood throughout the body. Not only these vessels carry the blood, but they also deliver the nutrients and oxygen to so many tissues of the body. In case, a person wants to know about his or her vascular system then they need to get a vascular ultrasound. Once a person undergoes a vascular ultrasound, it will reveal the blood flow and blood clots in the blood vessels.
Usually, the vascular ultrasound is a safe and non-invasive. It also means that it is a painless procedure. To conduct this procedure, three things are required, a computer, transducer, and a screen. The sound waves are high frequency, and these are sent through the transducer to examine the circulatory system. With the help of a scanner, the doctors can easily detect blood clots and blockages in the blood vessels. This can be done of any part of the body like leg, arm, abdomen, feet, etc.

These ultrasound waves reflect on the part of the body where the waves are struck. The transducer collects the reflected sound waves carefully and makes an image of internal structures. Even the small variations of the sound are recorded and measured on the screen while you are examining the area through a transducer.

Doppler technique in vascular ultrasound is a very effective technique as it can identify the blood clots quickly.
