Ultrasound Thigh Test

Sonography, also known as an ultrasound scan, is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from inside your body. In the case of the thighs, this test is known as Doppler Ultrasound, and it detects signs of decreased blood flow in the arteries or veins of the legs. The amount of blood flow through your arteries and veins is measured using high-frequency sound waves. This test aids in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of conditions, including blood clots and poor circulation. It is a painless and safe procedure. This is also implemented during pregnancy.

This test is recommended by the doctor due to following reasons:

• It detects bodily infections.
• Normal test findings show no artery or vein blockage and proper blood circulation. In contrast, aberrant blood flow patterns suggest artery or vein obstruction and poor circulation.
• Cholesterol and damaged blood cells cause irregular blood flow patterns.

The scanning position is determined by the body part being examined. The following procedures must be performed on the patient's thighs: -

• The patient must remove all clothing, jewellery, and other objects from the area to be scanned.
• The patient's head may be slightly raised, and his or her leg may be turned slightly upward.
• In some cases, the patient may be forced to lie on his or her stomach.
• Readings are taken with a blood pressure cuff at two different locations: the calf and the thighs.

This test is non-invasive and painless, and it does not expose you to harmful radiation. This test poses no risks, and most people experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.

An Ultrasound Thigh Test is typically performed in a hospital's radiology department or an outpatient imaging facility. So, for the best services and reliable results, schedule your test at Ganesh Diagnostic in Yamuna Vihar.
