The blood vessels which carry the blood away from the heart are called Arteries with few exceptions. Due to faulty diet and lack of exercise, the arteries start getting clogged and this condition is called atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis. In this condition the flow of blood gets reduced to the peripheral parts of the body like the feet and the fingers. Reduced blood flow can result in several diseases including gangarene which can result in amputation. Colour Doppler uses sound waves to study the flow of blood in the arteries and detect any blockages. The same thing is achieved through CT Angiography but the cost of CT Scan is much higher than Colour Doppler and cannot be done in patients with poor kidney function. CT Scan also involves radition to the body while colour doppler of the arteries of legs and hands has no harmful radiation.
The blood vessels which carry blood towards the heart are called veins with some exceptions. Due to faulty diet and lack of exercise, the veins start getting clogged with blood clots. When blood clots are formed in deep veins of the legs and the arms, this condition is called Deep Vein Thrombosis. The symptoms for DVT include pain and swelling in one limb, reddish or bluish colour of the skin. DVT can result in a life threatening condition called Pulmonary Embolism. Colour Doppler uses sound waves to study the flow of blood in the veins and detect any blockages. The same thing is achieved through CT Angiography but the cost of CT Scan is much higher than Colour Doppler and cannot be done in patients with poor kidney function. CT Scan also involves radition to the body while colour doppler of the veins of legs and hands has no harmful radiation.
Arterial and Venous Colour Doppler of the Limbs is one of the most difficult Colour Doppler Study and takes a lot of time. Very few radiologists are trained in doing Peripheral Colour Doppler of the Arteries and Veins. The cost of Arterial or Venous Colour Doppler of One limb costs Rs. 3000. Patients requiring Arterial and Venous Colour Doppler of one Limb have to pay Rs. 6000. For Both Lower or Both Upper Limbs the cost would be double at Rs. 12000. So costwise there is not much difference between Colour Doppler Study and Angiography if both the limbs have to be done. CT Angiography is done for both lower limbs. If the patient requires the study of just one limb then Colour Doppler would be cost effective.

Suraj Diagnostic Centre was setup in the year 1993. In the last 30 years, Suraj Diagnostics has made a name for itself in the field of Radiology and Pathology testing. Dr Rajveer Singh is considered as one of the most experienced Radiologist in the country when it comes to Obstetrical imaging. Suraj Diagnostics intalled its first colour doppler in the year 1998 and CT Scan in the year 2001. Suraj Diagnostics setup its first centre opposite civil hospital Gurgaon. The second centre was opened in Sohna in the year 2001. Now Suraj Diagnostics has shifted its centre from old Gurgaon to Sector 63 in the newer part of Gurgaon.
In order to achieve highest quality standards in the field of diagnostics, ideal combination of man and machine is needed. Suraj Diagnostics has installed the best in class technology when it comes to equipments like Ultrasound, Color Doppler and Digital X-Ray. Most advanced Ultrasound and Color Doppler from Philips Netherlands Affinity 50 is installed at Suraj Diagnostic Centres both at Sector-63, Gurgaon and Sohna. The 4D Ultrasound machine has all types of probes including 4D TVS probe and Cardiac Probe. All the machines are fully digital and give crystal clear images of the body part which is getting scanned.
