Duplex Doppler ultrasound of the visceral arteries

Duplex Doppler ultrasound of the visceral arteries is used to assess the morphology and flow of the visceral arteries.

The test is used to diagnose aneurysms of the visceral and renal arteries (celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery and its branches, hepatic artery, splenic artery).

Doppler ultrasound, using the Doppler phenomenon, allows to assess the speed and direction of blood flow in the vessels. Ultrasonic waves falling on blood cells flowing in blood vessels change their frequency in proportion to the speed of blood flow.
