Renal Arteries and Veins Visualization

Renal arteries and veins visualization is a necessary procedure for patients that suffer from high blood pressure, abdominal bruit, or any kidney problems.  Patients might end up having a critical health situation due to blockages or narrowing arteries of the kidney. Therefore, it is crucial to visualize and locate them regularly.

A renal artery ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of your renal arteries. These arteries supply oxygenated blood to your kidneys. This test helps to detect blockages or narrowing of the arteries.

For such procedure using a 4 to 12 MHz linear ultrasound Scanner is highly needed, For instance our Nephrologist and Vascular surgeon clients tends to use the Color Doppler WiFi Linear Ultrasound Scanner 4-12 MHz CDC-2.

CDC-2 has a Doppler frequency of 4-12 MHz and 128 / 256 scan lines which provides multiple displays. This feature also offers the ability to diagnose and treat patients sooner and with more accuracy.

Most importantly the Color Doppler mode is beneficial for multiple reasons such as identifying the renal vessel localization to calculate RRI (Renal Resistive Index) to monitor renal perfusion.

It provides a convenient method to follow those who have had surgical angioplasty or other vascular surgery.

Doppler ultrasonography employs sound waves to evaluate blood flow speed in kidney arteries and determine whether or not the patient has renal artery stenosis.

It compels the clinician to assess plaque accumulation and artery constriction. It also examines the velocity waveforms in segmental arteries.
