Non-invasive Vascular Testing - NYC Podiatrist Manhattan and White Plains, NY
Dr. Jeff Adler discusses Diagnostic Procedures - Non-invasive Vascular Testing.

(1). Digital Plethysmograph - Plethysmograph is a measuring instrument for measuring changes in volume (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood in the toe). This device is applied to a digit of the foot to measure skin blood flow
(2). Duplex Ultrasound Arteriograh - A duplex ultrasound is a test to see how blood moves through your arteries and veins. The test combines traditional ultrasound with Doppler Ultrasonography. Regular ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off blood vessels to create pictures. Doppler ultrasound records sound waves reflecting off moving objects, such as blood, to measure their speed and other aspects of how they flow in the ankle as compared to the arm.
(3). Venous Reflux Examination - A noninvasive test that is used to test the valves in the veins of the legs. A small sensor will be taped to your leg. The technologist will ask you to pump your foot up and down several times. The pumping action pushes blood up the leg toward the heart. The sensor measures how quickly the blood returns down to the ankle. From these measurements, the technologist can determine if the valves are working properly (venous valvular insufficiency). What kind of symptoms might I experience if I have venous valvular insufficiency? There are many signs and symptoms that you may experience such as:
• Chronic lower leg/ankle swelling
• An ulcer (or sore) that won't heal
• Skin discoloration of the lower legs or ankles
