What to expect on test day in 60 seconds

1. Check-in at reception (5 min)
2. Change into a gown if required (2 min)
3. Lie on the scan table; warm gel applied (1 min)
4. Transducer glides across abdomen capturing images (15–20 min)
5. Wipe off gel, get dressed, receive provisional findings (2 min)

• Color Doppler: Visual overview of vessel direction and turbulence.
• Spectral Doppler: Numerical speed and resistance patterns.
• Power Doppler: Higher sensitivity for very slow or small-volume flow—ideal for tiny renal vessels.

• Evaluate abdominal pain or swelling of unknown cause
• Monitor liver cirrhosis and varices
• Assess kidney transplant perfusion and early rejection signs
• Detect narrowing of renal or mesenteric arteries before surgery

Symptoms that trigger referral

• Unexplained abdominal pain or swelling
• Sudden weight loss or jaundice
• Persistent nausea after fatty meals
• High blood pressure that’s hard to control

Age groups & risk profiles

• Adults 40+ with diabetes or hypertension
• Children with inherited liver disorders
• Pregnant women with suspected portal hypertension
• Post-kidney-transplant patients for routine graft monitoring

• Non-invasive procedure—no needles, no contrast
• No sedation required—drive home immediately
• Real-time blood-flow imaging—results shared with you on the spot

• Portal hypertension—high pressure in liver veins
• Renal artery stenosis—narrowing that causes resistant hypertension
• Budd-Chiari syndrome—blocked hepatic veins
• Hepatic artery thrombosis—post-transplant emergency
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm with turbulent flow

Fasting instructions (6–8 hrs)

• Only water allowed; skip breakfast for morning slots.
• Continue essential medicines with a small sip of water.

Medication guidelines

• Avoid gas-forming tablets the night before.
• If on anticoagulants, bring your latest INR/PT reports.

• Valid doctor prescription (hard copy or digital)
• Recent blood reports if on anticoagulants or have clotting disorders
• Comfortable, two-piece clothing recommended

• Morning slots after overnight fast give the clearest images.
• Avoid booking immediately after lunch or carbonated drinks.

• Adults & children—no lower age limit
• Pregnancy-safe imaging—no radiation, no contrast
• Patients with implanted devices (e.g., insulin pumps) can undergo scan; just inform staff beforehand.

1. Check-in & paperwork—verify ID, consent and fasting status.
2. Positioning—lie flat on the scan table, abdomen exposed.
3. Gel application & transducer movement—cool, water-based gel improves sound transmission; gentle pressure captures images and Doppler waveforms.
4. Real-time review—sonographer explains key findings before you leave.
5. Clean-up & digital report—receive link to download images and report.

• Inform about implanted devices—pacemakers, pumps or metal clips.
• Mention contrast allergy history—though none is used, it helps us note your overall allergy profile.

Safety profile (zero radiation)

• Uses harmless sound waves—no ionising radiation, safe for children and expectant mothers.

Limitations in obese patients or excessive bowel gas

• Body fat or gas can scatter sound waves, occasionally limiting view depth. In such cases Cadabams Diagnostics may suggest a brief repeat after bowel prep or low-dose CT if clinically justified.
