Yes, there are dopler studies and some dye studies that could make the 
determination; however, most physicans wouldn't run the studies absent 
sympthoms.  Perhaps they might run the studies for someone doing deep, 
deco dives if they really understand diving medicine, otherwise, I doubt 
you'll find one willing.
