Question 1

undergoing penile doppler ultrasound , seminal anlsys and visual erection ( potency test). if passed will it prove if ed is mental or physical?

Accepted Answer

Usually.: Overnight monitoring is best; normal nocturnal erections pretty much nail down ed as mental.

Question 2

hello sir i am suffering from testicular pain i have done all the tests including doppler ultrasound of abdomen and scortum but all are normal but the?

Accepted Answer

Urologist consult: You need to see a Urologist if all tests are normal. Have  you ever been treated for an infection of the  testicle?

Question 3

can a bakers cyst cause a feeling of tightness in the upper posterior or sides of calf? doppler ultrasound negative for clot?

Accepted Answer

: Upper posterior of the calf is the location of the baker cyst but it can cause pain by the side of the calf when ruptured.

Question 4

how accurate is doppler ultrasound for blood clots in leg? had test done came back negative still having pain in leg no swelling

Accepted Answer

Doppler and Legs: Very accurate.  There are a million other reasons for pain. Why do you think you have a dvt?

Question 5

is doppler ultrasound only way to tell if u have hood circulation in fingers and hands. if not what other tests does vascular surgeon do?

Accepted Answer

Not the only way: It's not the only way. Arteriogram (contrast media injected into the artery) is more sensitive than doppler determining your arterial patency.

Question 6

i had a doppler ultrasound done where they checked my blood flow. they check both legs/arms/pelvic area. test came back abnormal. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Narrowed  artery: I imagine you were having cramps in your legs after walking some distance? The abnormal peripheral doppler study was most likely expressed as an elevated ankle-brachial index. This is a ratio of the blood pressure between the arm and ankle. Values between .9 & 1.0 are  considered normal. Below .9 suggests artery narrowing and above 1.2 suggests hardening of the arteries.

Question 7

could a doppler ultrasound damage leg?

Accepted Answer

Not unless....: Unless the sonographer is really strong and was pushing on the leg really hard there is no way a doppler sono can cause the leg harm. Back in the early days of ultrasound research after wwii, navy surplus sonar transducers were used to image fish. They were so powerful that fish were killed. This is not an issue with diagnostic equipment.

Question 8

what is color doppler ultrasound value in ob?

Accepted Answer

OB sono: Color doppler in sonogram is used to check the venous and arterial blood flow to any organ.In obstetrics it is generally to check the blood flow to the fetus and  placenta.In the anatomical survey it checks for the baby's heart to rule out abnormalities.

Question 9

what's doppler ultrasound exams are done on the fetus or placenta?

Accepted Answer

Check blood flow: The doppler exam is using ultrasound to asses the blood flow to the baby or placenta.  It is a tool for assessing the health of the baby and monitoring the effects of certain problems such as diabetes or hypertension.

Question 10

carotid doppler ultrasound showed elevated psv in right ica but normal ica/cca. what's this mean?

Accepted Answer

See detailed answer: Psv = peak systolic velocity (i.e. Speed of blood flow); elevated psv can indicate narrowing

ica/cca ratio is another way of assessing narrowing - would need to see actual numbers

my 2 cents...See a vascular surgeon.
