FAQs

What is a Doppler Arterial Left Leg examination?

Doppler Arterial Left Leg is a non-invasive ultrasound examination that evaluates the arteries and blood flow in the left leg using high-resolution ultrasound and Color Doppler imaging.

Why is a Doppler Arterial Left Leg performed?

This examination is commonly performed to evaluate peripheral arterial disease (PAD), arterial narrowing (stenosis), arterial blockage (occlusion), arterial thrombosis, aneurysms, arterial embolism, vascular injury, and other disorders affecting blood flow in the left leg.

Which arteries are examined during the test?

The examination typically evaluates the common femoral artery, superficial femoral artery, deep femoral artery, popliteal artery, anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery, and peroneal artery in the left leg.

Can this examination detect blocked or narrowed arteries?

Yes. Doppler ultrasound can accurately identify arterial narrowing, complete blockage, reduced blood flow, and other abnormalities affecting circulation in the left leg.

What symptoms may require this examination?

Your doctor may recommend this test if you have leg pain while walking (claudication), cold feet, numbness, weakness, reduced pulses, non-healing wounds, skin discoloration, or suspected poor circulation in the left leg.

Can this examination detect blood clots in the arteries?

Yes. It can help identify arterial thrombosis (blood clots) and arterial embolism, which may reduce or completely block blood flow to the leg.
