What is a Vascular Ultrasound?

Vascular ultrasound can be defined as a procedure that utilizes sound waves to produce vascular images that offer a comprehensive evaluation of the health status of your circulatory system. It is a non-invasive procedure that does not require incisions or any other surgical methods and is typically carried out in an instant and hassle-free manner.

Blockages in your blood vessels can be easily detected through a vascular ultrasound, including blood clots, which are a leading cause of heart attack or stroke.

Our experts may also recommend our vascular ultrasound service to you for:

Evaluation of varicose veins
Detection of enlarged arteries
Assessment of your health before surgery

A vascular ultrasound is also immensely beneficial when it comes to certain medical procedures that require you to inject or place a catheter into a vein or artery. This advanced technology allows us to view and locate exactly where the needle needs to be placed, ensuring accuracy and perfection.

When Do You
Need a Vascular Ultrasound?

A vascular ultrasound is required if you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, or are suffering from heart disease. It can also be opted to evaluate and confirm if there is any plaque buildup in the arteries. A vascular ultrasound is also helpful if you have varicose veins to help assess and find out the extent of this condition, as well as the most appropriate treatment approach for it.

Evaluation of your arteries and veins can be carried out easily and accurately, thanks to vascular ultrasound; with the inclusion of blood vessels in the neck, abdomen, arms, and legs. The most common reasons that our ultrasound specialists use this testing procedure are:
