What Does My Doppler Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?

Posted on Thu, 21 Apr 2016

Question: Help. I'm wondering why on my doppler report of my arm it says that there is "evidence of intravascular disease" under the "TECHNIQUE" part, but under "FINDINGS and IMPRESSIONS" it says there is no stenosis , no clot, and no significant abnormalities. what could the intravascular indicate ??? I'm very worried.
