Doppler Scan in Harare — Blood Flow & Vascular Ultrasound

Need a Doppler scan in Harare? MedPoint Radiology uses advanced Doppler ultrasound technology to assess blood flow through arteries and veins — a painless, non-invasive way to detect and monitor vascular conditions, available across 5 Harare branches.

What Is a Doppler Scan?

A Doppler scan is a type of ultrasound that measures the speed and direction of blood flow through your vessels, rather than just producing a static image. It's commonly used to check for blood clots, narrowed or blocked arteries, and circulation problems — and, in pregnancy, to monitor blood flow to the placenta and baby.

Types of Doppler Study We Offer

• Limb Doppler — venous and arterial studies of the upper and lower limbs, often used to investigate clots (DVT) or poor circulation.
• Carotid Doppler — assesses blood flow through the neck arteries supplying the brain.
• Abdominal Vascular Doppler — checks blood flow to abdominal organs and the aorta.
• Obstetric Doppler — monitors blood flow through the umbilical cord and uterine arteries during pregnancy, following Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) protocols. Often performed alongside your pregnancy scan.

What to Expect

A Doppler scan uses the same handheld probe and gel as a standard ultrasound — there's no needles, no radiation, and no discomfort. Most studies take 15–20 minutes, and results are typically available the same day.
