The vascular laboratory tests and comprises all noninvasive diagnostic studies that allow us to analyze the arteries, veins and blood flow abnormalities which circulates them.

Over the past decades developed many devices trying to diagnose vascular disease in a non-aggressive: plethysmography, oclulopletismografía, directional Doppler, thermography, segmental pressures, etc. ergometry ...., Indirectly trying to tell the state of our movement. At the time were very useful but at present the vast majority of them have become obsolete and the main diagnostic tool is the echo-Doppler.

The Doppler mechanism is a physical phenomenon that allows us to study blood flow in vessels. It consists of an ultrasound beam issued against a vessel collides with the particles of blood (erythrocytes) and change its frequency to bounce, allowing the computer detects it can transform into acoustic and visual information what is happening in that glass. In this way we know whether or not the vessel is obstructed, the speed and amount of flow through the segment under study or the current direction. This technique combined with the image obtained by ultrasound allows us to see the vessel walls as blood flows through it.

The tests can be performed in the lab are studies of vascular arterial and venous systems of the extremities, both upper and lower, of cerebral circulation, cervical vessels (supra-aortic trunks) of the abdominal aorta and iliac branches and visceral; also allows us to study testicular circulation and erectile function tests

Through these studies we can diagnose the presence of stenosis and obstruction of arteries and veins, discard or evaluate the evolution of the aneurysm, assess the existence of thoracic outlet syndrome, study the superficial venous system and deep venous thrombosis to rule or make an assessment of varicose veins require surgery to indicate whether and what kind. Testicular studies allow us to assess the presence of varicoceles erectile dysfunction or circulatory origin.
