USG (Ultrasound) & Doppler
Ultrasound is a safe, radiation-free imaging technique that helps in evaluating internal organs, pregnancy, and soft tissues. Doppler ultrasound further assesses blood flow in arteries and veins to detect blockages, clots, or poor circulation.

- Venous Doppler – deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins
- Arterial Doppler – blockages in limb arteries
- Renal Doppler – kidney blood supply evaluation
- Obstetric Doppler – placenta and umbilical cord circulation
