Doppler - Abdomen (Hepatic / Portal)
Doppler – Abdomen (Hepatic / Portal) is a specialized ultrasound examination that assesses blood circulation within the liver, hepatic veins, portal vein, and related abdominal vessels. It uses Doppler technology to visualize blood flow, measure flow direction and velocity, and detect vascular abnormalities.
This scan is highly effective in diagnosing conditions such as portal hypertension, liver cirrhosis, portal vein thrombosis, hepatic vein obstruction, liver vascular disorders, and abnormal blood flow related to chronic liver disease.
The test helps evaluate liver circulation and assess complications associated with liver disease, including enlarged veins, reduced blood flow, or clot formation. It is commonly recommended for patients with liver disorders, abdominal swelling, abnormal liver function tests, or suspected vascular complications.
The procedure provides real-time imaging and accurate vascular assessment without radiation exposure.
The scan is safe, non-invasive, painless, and suitable for repeated monitoring when required.
This test is recommended for individuals:
- With liver disease or cirrhosis
- Having abnormal liver function tests
- Suspected of portal hypertension
- Experiencing abdominal swelling or fluid accumulation
- With suspected liver vascular abnormalities
- Requiring hepatic or portal circulation assessment
