FEATURES OF VESSEL ULTRASOUND IN Lviv

The doctor applies gel to the sensor and presses it to the skin in the study area. The patient can be examined lying down, sitting, standing, in some cases lying on his side (it depends on which vessels the doctor will examine). The entire procedure lasts about 30 minutes.

Vessels are one of the most important components of our body. They are responsible for oxygen saturation, therefore the blood flowing through the vessels ensures the exchange of substances between organs and systems. Ultrasound diagnostics is extremely important primarily for preventive purposes, because it is always easier to prevent a disease than to treat it.
