Frequently Asked Questions

A vascular ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses sound waves to create images of your blood vessels. It allows us to assess blood flow, detect blockages, identify abnormalities, and evaluate the overall health of your arteries and veins. The examination is painless and does not use radiation.

Most vascular ultrasound examinations take between 30-60 minutes, depending on the type of study being performed. More comprehensive examinations may take longer. We always allow sufficient time to perform a thorough assessment while keeping you comfortable.

No, vascular ultrasound is completely painless. You will feel the transducer (ultrasound probe) moving over your skin with gentle pressure, but the examination should not cause any discomfort. If you experience any discomfort during the examination, please let us know immediately.

Yes, a referral from your doctor is required for vascular ultrasound examinations. Your doctor will provide specific information about what type of examination is needed and why it has been requested. Please bring your referral letter with you to your appointment.

A comprehensive report will be prepared and sent directly to your referring doctor. Your doctor will then discuss the results with you and recommend any necessary treatment or follow-up. We aim to deliver reports promptly to ensure timely patient care.

This means you can receive your examination at the same location as your consultation, providing convenience and continuity of care. We coordinate our schedule with your doctor's appointments to ensure seamless patient flow.

We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being examined. For leg examinations, loose pants or a skirt is ideal. For carotid artery studies, wear clothing with an open neckline. You may be asked to partially undress for some examinations.

Yes, you are welcome to bring a support person with you to your appointment. They can wait in the waiting area or, with your permission, accompany you during the examination. We understand that having support can make you feel more comfortable.
