Vascular Imaging
Detailed artery imaging that maps blockages before treatment to restore blood flow, in India.
Vascular imaging for the diabetic foot in India is detailed artery imaging, using duplex ultrasound, CT angiography or MR angiography, that maps exactly where the leg arteries are narrowed or blocked, so that treatment to restore blood flow can be planned before a wound becomes limb-threatening. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) it is guided by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why Vascular Imaging Matters
Bedside tests can show that circulation is reduced, but only detailed imaging shows where the problem lies and whether it can be fixed. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines recommend detailed vascular imaging when a diabetic foot wound is not healing and a procedure to restore blood flow is being considered.
What Vascular Imaging Includes
- Duplex ultrasound, a radiation-free scan that maps flow and blockages.
- CT angiography, a detailed CT scan of the arteries using contrast dye.
- MR angiography, artery imaging without radiation.
- Catheter angiography (DSA) when the finest detail is needed before treatment.
- Findings linked to your bedside ABI and clinical picture.
Who Should Get Vascular Imaging
- Diabetics with a non-healing foot ulcer and poor circulation.
- People with rest pain or an abnormal circulation screen.
- Patients being considered for angioplasty or bypass.
- Anyone facing an amputation-risk decision where blood flow could be restored.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics dedicated to diabetic foot care, and vascular imaging here is tied directly to limb salvage. It is read within a complete vascular assessment and coordinated with our vascular services, so imaging turns straight into a treatment plan.
What Happens After Vascular Imaging
If a treatable blockage is found, you are guided toward a procedure to restore blood flow, giving wounds the oxygen they need to heal. Clear arteries confirm that healing can proceed with confidence.
