Digital Colour Doppler Ultrasound

Along with other forms of techniques, ALPHA also provides the Color Doppler, an imaging technique that generate color coded mags of blood velocity in different tissues and vessels.

The technique is based on the physical law known as the Doppler Effect, which describes the relationship between the moving object and the ultrasonic waves that differ according to the direction of movement of those objects. Based on these parameters we can count the volumes and velocities of blood flow through the examined blood vessels and organs.

Color Doppler include:

• Carotid Doppler

It is done to rule out carotid artery stenosis, a common cause of emboli leading to stroke.

• Lower limb Doppler

It is done for assessment of acute and chronic Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

• Renal Doppler

It is done for the assessment of renal artery stenosis in hypertensive patients.

• Liver Doppler

It is done for diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis and assessment of portal hypertension

• Assessment and follow-up of Transplanted organs

At ALPHA Diagnostic Center, the facility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans is rapidly used to diagnose a variety of conditions that range from torn ligaments to tumours. MRIs are very useful for examining diseases related to the brain and spinal cord.

In technique, MRI uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside patient body. During the scan, patient lies on a table that is open from three sides. The procedure in itself is painless, however, difficulties may occur according to the condition of the patient. Before MRI scan, we ensure that there is no contraindication like patient is wearing/containing any metallic object.
