The Aorta is the main artery that travels through the abdomen from your heart. This scan is done to look for aortic dilatation and the detection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The scan can also assess for narrowing of your Aorta by calcification, plaque or thrombus build up. It will also look for any peripheral arterial aneurysm.
The duplex scans of the legs looks to ensure adequate blood circulation through your arteries. It looks for the build up of plaques or thickening of your arterial wall. It allows for decisions to be made on whether you need medical or surgical (such as an angioplasty) management of any blockages to your arteries. If you did have a blockage in your arteries in your legs, you may find you get tightening in your calf when you walk for variable distances.
Your Senior Ultrasonographer – Ms Fatin Mohsin
Having graduated in 1998 from Damascus university, I earned a degree in medical sciences. I subsequently pursed my career in the United Kingdom and in 2004 was awarded my MSc. in Medical Ultrasound and the Diploma of Medical Ultrasound from Imperial College University London.
In 2008, when I was pregnant with my younger son, I decided to expand my knowledge in medical ultrasound by enrolling in a PgC course and obtained my qualification with a merit from King’s College, London.
I am a member of the British Medical Ultrasound Society, hold a basic accreditation from the Society of Vascular Technology of Great Britain and Ireland and NT accreditation from the Fetal Medicine Foundation.
I have over 11 years experience in both NHS and private hospitals and have been appointed as a Senior clinical ultrasound specialist at Kingston hospital NHS Trust in 2012 (Band 8 Sonographer).
As well as enjoying every aspect of my professional life, I also enjoy my volunteer work for a charity that supports orphans in my home country of Iraq.
