Advanced Blood Flow Assessment

Vascular Ultrasound

Specialist high-resolution duplex and doppler mapping of your arteries and veins. Non-invasive detection of blood flow, vessel blockages, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Dynamic Duplex & Doppler Evaluation

Vascular ultrasound is a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic technique that combines traditional ultrasound imaging (to show physical vessel structure) with Doppler technology (to measure blood flow speed and direction).

This real-time assessment enables our clinical sonographers to detect narrowed vessels, track blood clots in deep veins, locate weakened arterial walls (aneurysms), and observe the exact state of blood circulation without the need for needles, dyes, or radiation.

  • No Radiation or Dyes
  • Real-Time Flow Mapping
  • Entirely Non-Invasive

Clinical Applications

Common Conditions We Investigate

Our high-resolution ultrasound technology provides precise vascular insights for both acute cardiovascular emergencies and chronic venous issues.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

Identifying dangerous blood clots in the deep leg or arm veins to prevent pulmonary embolisms.

Carotid Artery Disease

Evaluating plaque buildup in the neck arteries supplying blood to the brain, vital for stroke prevention.

Varicose Veins

Assessing valve failure in superficial veins to diagnose venous reflux, pain, or heavy legs.

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Analyzing restricted blood flow in leg arteries causing cramping, pain, or numbness during walking.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Monitoring the diameter and structural integrity of the aorta to evaluate rupture risks.

Renal Artery Stenosis

Assessing narrowing in kidney arteries which frequently causes high blood pressure and renal dysfunction.

Post-Surgical Monitoring

Regular surveillance of vascular bypass grafts, stents, and arteriovenous (AV) fistulas for dialysis.

Stroke Risk Assessment

Investigating patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), dizziness, or a history of vascular issues.

How to Prepare for Your Scan

Vascular ultrasound procedures are safe and straightforward. Depending on the specific vessels being scanned, minor dietary steps might be requested.

Fasting for Abdominal Scans

If you are having an abdominal aorta or renal artery study, please fast for 6 hours prior to clear intestinal gas, which can block ultrasound signals.

Comfortable, Loose Attire

Wear comfortable garments that can be easily rolled up or adjusted to expose the region being investigated (such as legs, arms, or neck).

Bring Medications & Referral

Remember to carry your doctor's referral letter, previous relevant vascular scans, and a list of any active cardiovascular or blood pressure medications.
