The test is widely used because it is noninvasive, uses no x rays, and gives excellent images. It is harmless, painless, and widely available.

∙ 12y agoTranscranial Doppler ultrasonography is a noninvasive method of analyzing blood flow in the brain.
Doppler ultrasonography uses what is called the Doppler effect to measure the rate and direction of blood flow in the vessels.
A Doppler ultrasonography test showing no restricted blood flow is a normal finding.
Ultrasonography procedures are safe, noninvasive, and painless. No special precautions are necessary.
The Doppler principle is simply that sound pitch increases as the source moves toward the listener and decreases as it moves away.
The newest addition to this test is the addition of color. Adding color to the image shows the direction and rate of blood flow more clearly.
The gel is washed off with soap and water. No other after care is needed.
Deep vein thrombosis can be detected through venography and radionuclide venography, Doppler ultrasonography, and impedance plethysmography.
direct measurement of blood flow and rates of flow, sometimes performed in conjunction with stress testing (exercise between tests).
