Vascular Ultrasound Scans
Vascular Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive, affordable, harmless, and painless ultrasound method (also called a Duplex Ultrasound Study). It is mainly used to examine the blood circulation in the neck, arms, and legs to generate real-time images of arteries and veins. Vascular studies use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow in your blood vessels. A small handheld probe (transducer) is pressed against your skin. The sound waves move through your skin and other body tissues to the blood vessels. Vascular Ultrasound can help to identify a range of acute and chronic changes within the vessels like: Aneurysm, narrowing or occlusion of the vessels such as Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm, Arterial Stenosis, Arterial Emboli, Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT, Thrombophlebitis, Venous Insufficiency, Varicose Veins, and Venous Reflux.

CAROTID DOPPLER
Carotid Doppler Ultrasound Scan
Carotid Duplex ultrasound scan can evaluate the main arteries feeding the brain, looking for any blockages or narrowing of these main arteries, for stroke screening or patients with history of stroke. Advise will be given on the follow-up scans, GP referral or Blood Tests if needed.

Abdominal
Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm
However, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm is more common in men over 65 years of age, it can still be very important to have this scan as a screening for females or younger people. The scan can detect the deadly bulging in the abdominal aorta to prevent fatal ruptures of this very main vessel in the abdomen.
