Diagnostics

If vascular pathologies are suspected, the family doctor will prescribe vascular diagnostics and, if the diagnosis is confirmed, refer to a vascular surgeon.

Screening diagnostic examination of blood vessels is ultrasound diagnosis:

• dopplerography of the vessels of the lower extremities ;
• Ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck .

A specific diagnostic test for vascular pathology is angiography: X-ray examination of blood vessels using a contrast agent.

During angiography, the patient is injected with an iodine-containing substance and a radiograph is taken. With the help of contrast, the doctor sees a clear visualization of blood vessels and can detect places of narrowing, clogging, tortuosity and other pathologies.

A more detailed method of vascular examination is computed tomography (MSCT angiography). Visualization of vessels to detect npathological changes in them are performed using a computer tomograph.

In the medical network "Dobrobut" we use a modern multi-spiral computed tomograph, with which you can make visualizations in different projections and many sections. This makes it possible to make a more detailed diagnosis and plan the scope of surgery.
