Vascular Ultrasound

Non-Invasive vascular ultrasound services for accurate diagnosis and treatment at Emerson Health.

Advanced Ultrasound Services

Vascular ultrasound at Emerson Health is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of blood vessels and measure blood flow. This safe and painless test helps identify issues such as blockages or narrowing in arteries and veins, including conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and varicose veins. During the procedure, a technician applies gel to the skin and uses a small transducer device to capture images. The test is quick, and you can return to normal activities afterward. At Emerson Health, our experienced team uses the latest technology to provide accurate results, ensuring valuable insights for your care.

Why You Might Need a Vascular Ultrasound

What to Expect During Your Appointment

You will lie on a table while gel is applied to the area being tested. The ultrasound device will move over the skin to capture images. The test takes about 30 minutes, and you can return to your usual activities afterward.

Preparing for Your Vascular Ultrasound

There is usually no special preparation needed for a vascular ultrasound. Your doctor will let you know if you need to follow any specific instructions, such as fasting before the test.
