The examination may use:

• B-mode ultrasound to visualize blood vessels

• Compression ultrasound to evaluate veins

• Color Doppler to display blood flow

• Spectral Doppler to measure the direction and characteristics of blood flow

The exact technique depends on the vascular study being performed.
