Vascular Ultrasound
An office-based vascular ultrasound is a safe, painless test that uses sound waves to look at blood flow in your arteries and veins. It is often recommended if you have symptoms such as leg pain, swelling, numbness, or if you are at risk for circulation problems.
This test can help detect:
- Narrowed or blocked arteries
- Elevated heart and vascular risk based on vascular diagnostic results
- Blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Poor circulation in the legs, arms, or neck
Vascular ultrasound is important because it can find problems early, before they lead to serious conditions like stroke or heart attack. Early detection allows for faster treatment, helping lower health risks and improve daily comfort and mobility.
Receiving this test in the Arrowhead Vascular & Vein Center is convenient and often more affordable than hospital-based imaging. Patients benefit from quick appointments, timely results, and easy follow-up care.
