Doppler - LIMBS SINGLE VENOUS

Non-invasive venous Doppler for a single limb to detect deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or venous insufficiency, provided at home across Dubai by Touch-certified sonographers. Uses color and spectral Doppler to deliver fast, accurate assessment with minimal discomfort. Typical single-limb studies take about 15–30 minutes, and results are forwarded electronically to your referring clinician.

• Wear loose clothing or shorts to allow easy access to the limb.
• Do not apply creams, lotions, or oils to the limb before the exam.
• Have your referral, Emirates ID, and medication list ready for the technician.
• Inform the team about anticoagulant therapy, recent surgery, or current pregnancy.
• Remove compression stockings at least 24 hours before the scan if applicable.

• The sonographer will position you to expose the limb and apply warm ultrasound gel.
• A handheld transducer is moved along the venous segments to assess flow and compressibility.
• The procedure is generally painless; you may feel light pressure during compression tests.
• You may be asked to change position or perform simple breathing maneuvers to assess flow.
• Testing for one limb typically takes 15–30 minutes; preliminary findings may be discussed on-site.

There is no recovery period and you can resume normal activities immediately. A radiologist will provide the formal report, which is uploaded to your Touch account and sent to your referring physician—standard turnaround is 24–48 hours, with urgent results communicated sooner if an acute DVT is suspected. Discuss follow-up care and treatment options with your healthcare provider based on the radiology report.
