Our Vascular Ultrasound Services
Carotid Ultrasound
Evaluate the carotid arteries for blockages or narrowing that could increase the risk of stroke. No preparation is needed, and the test takes less than 30 minutes.
Aortoiliac Ultrasound
Detect aneurysmal disease or significant plaque buildup in the aortoiliac arteries. Please fast for 4 hours before the test, which takes less than 30 minutes.
Lower Limb Arterial Ultrasound
Assess for arterial narrowing or aneurysmal disease in the lower limbs, which may cause claudication. The test may last up to one hour.
Renal Artery Ultrasound
Examine the renal arteries for narrowing that might affect blood pressure or kidney function. A 6-hour fast from food, fluids, and smoking is required.
Upper Limb Extremity Arterial Ultrasound
Identify plaque buildup or thoracic outlet syndrome affecting the upper limb arteries. No preparation is needed, and the test takes about 30 minutes.
Venous Insufficiency Studies
Investigate the veins in the legs for venous insufficiency, which can lead to varicose veins. The test may be performed standing and takes up to one hour.
Preparing for Your Ultrasound
To ensure accurate results, some tests require specific preparation. For renal artery ultrasounds, avoid food, fluids, and smoking for 6 hours. Aortoiliac ultrasounds require a 4-hour fast. Other tests, such as carotid and venous studies, need no preparation. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
Understanding the Procedure
During your ultrasound, you’ll lie down while a sonographer applies gel and uses a probe to capture images of your vascular system. This non-invasive procedure is safe and provides crucial insights into your vascular health.
What to Expect During Your Ultrasound
During your vascular ultrasound, you will be asked to either sit or lie down, depending on the specific procedure. A trained sonographer will apply a clear, water-based gel to your skin, which helps the ultrasound probe transmit sound waves. These waves create detailed images of your veins and arteries, allowing us to detect any abnormalities such as blockages or aneurysms. The process is non-invasive, meaning no needles or incisions are involved, and it is considered very safe. Each test varies in duration: a Carotid Ultrasound takes less than 30 minutes, while a Renal Artery Ultrasound might take up to 30 minutes, with fasting required beforehand. For more detailed procedures like Lower Limb Arterial Ultrasound, expect the session to last up to an hour. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and providing clear results for your health needs.
