  1. What is Doppler ultrasound of the arteries?
    Doppler ultrasound (Doppler ultrasound) allows you to examine the arteries.
    The patient lies on his back.
    The doctor moves an ultrasonic probe along the patient's skin, directed to the arteries, and thus measures the speed of the blood.
    This examination allows you to measure the diameter of the arteries and examine the condition of their inner wall.

  2. Arteriography - visualization of the arteries
    A radiopaque contrast agent is injected into the arteries that need to be analyzed.
    This test is done on an empty stomach.
    Arteriography can detect arterial cholesterol deposits, as well as atherosclerosis or pulmonary embolism.
