Please help me understand my doppler results
Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2010 6:07 am
I paid for this test, and I have a copy of the doppler images and the test report, but I do not understand what it means. Can someone help me, or direct me to information that explains these reports.
Specifically, does a 2/5 ccsvi criteria rating indicate that the blockages are minor?
How is it possible that my Right IJV is 7.2mm and the left is 39.2mm? That is such a big difference!
Supine
Right IJV cross sectional area: 7.4mm^2
Left IJV cross sectional area: 39.2mm^2
- Intermittent retrograde flow in the J1 segment of the right IJV and
the J1 and J2 segments of the left IJV.
- Intermittent absent flow in the J2 segments of the right IJV.
- Normal antegrade flow in the vertebral and deep cerebral veins.
Upright
Right IJV cross sectional area: 3.6mm^2
Left IJV cross sectional area: 2.5mm^2
- Intermittent absent flow in all 3 segments of the right IJV and the
J2 and J3 segemnts of the left IJV.
- Normal antegrade flow in the vertebral and deep cerebral veins.
