What is the difference between venous doppler reflux and venous doppler for clotting ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Doppler: An ultrasound can use doppler technology to see if there is flow toward, away or no flow at all. When there is a clot, there is no blood flow.

US and Doppler: Doppler ultrasound is used to determine if there is retrograde flow in valved vein segments, i.e. between the junction of a superficial vein and a deep vein,, 2) between valved segments within a deep vein (deep vein reflux), 3) between valved segments of superficial veins (segmental venous reflux). B mode US compression techniques look for dvt and distal augmentation to confirm flow upstream
