What is a Vascular Ultrasound?

Vascular ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure used by healthcare professionals to assess blood flow in the arteries and veins of the arms, neck, and legs. This test helps in diagnosing conditions such as blood clots and peripheral artery disease. It may also be performed to evaluate your suitability for angioplasty or to monitor blood vessel health following a bypass procedure.

Vascular ultrasound, also known as a duplex study, is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that provides insights into blood flow within the arms, neck, and legs. High-frequency sound waves are employed to create detailed images of soft tissues and blood vessels.

When is a Vascular Ultrasound Performed?

Healthcare providers may use vascular ultrasound to examine blood flow through veins and arteries. It is commonly used to assist in diagnosing conditions such as:

Atherosclerosis
Blood clots
Carotid artery disease
Chronic venous insufficiency
Deep vein thrombosis
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm
Peripheral artery disease
Vascular disease
Varicose veins

When Would I Need a Vascular Ultrasound Exam?

You may be referred for a vascular ultrasound if you experience symptoms such as:

A burning sensation in your legs
Muscle atrophy
Pain in the buttocks, hips, thighs, or calves
Non-healing leg sores (ulcers)

Healthcare providers also utilise vascular ultrasound to evaluate blood flow to organs and may perform the test after an organ transplant. Additionally, it can help determine if you're a suitable candidate for angioplasty or to assess blood vessel health after venous bypass surgery.

Who Performs a Vascular Ultrasound Exam?

A trained ultrasound Sonographer conducts your vascular ultrasound exam, having specialised knowledge in performing these tests.

How Does Vascular Ultrasound Work?

Vascular ultrasound employs high-frequency sound waves to generate detailed images. These sound waves penetrate soft tissues and blood vessels, producing echoes that are transformed into images or videos by a computer.

How Do I Prepare for a Vascular Ultrasound?

There are no special preparations required for a vascular ultrasound. Aim to arrive at the facility approximately 15 minutes before your appointment. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and leave any jewellery or valuables at home; you may be asked to change into a hospital gown.

What Happens During a Vascular Ultrasound?

You will lie on an examination table, and the Sonographer will apply a lubricating gel to your skin where your arteries and veins will be examined. They will then place a special probe called a transducer against your skin. You may feel slight pressure as the probe is moved over the area, and you might hear the sound of your blood flow, which will have a pulsing or whooshing quality.

What Should I Expect After the Vascular Ultrasound?

Once the exam is complete, the Sonographer will clean off the lubricating gel. You can resume work or other activities immediately following the exam.

Does Vascular Ultrasound Have Any Risks or Side Effects?

Vascular ultrasound is a safe procedure with no side effects expected from the exam.
