Our Vascular Doppler Scans Services
This scan evaluates blood flow in the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. It helps assess for blockages or narrowing of the arteries that may increase the risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Arterial Doppler Unilateral/Bilateral
Assesses blood flow in the arteries of the arms or legs to detect any narrowing, blockages, or abnormalities that may affect circulation.
Evaluates the veins in the legs to assess for varicose veins, which are enlarged, twisted veins that may cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. This scan helps guide treatment decisions for varicose vein management.
Venous – DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) Unilateral/Bilateral
Used to diagnose or rule out deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, typically in the legs. DVT can lead to serious complications such as pulmonary embolism if left untreated.
Peripheral Arterial Doppler Ultrasound – ABPI (Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index) One Limb/Two Limbs
Measures blood pressure in the arteries of the legs compared to the arms to assess for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition characterised by narrowed arteries that reduce blood flow to the limbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Vascular Doppler Scan?
A Vascular Doppler Scan is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves to measure the blood flow in your arteries and veins, typically in your arms and legs. It helps in detecting blockages, clots, and abnormalities in blood flow.
Why is a Doppler Scan performed?
This scan is performed to diagnose conditions such as blood clots, poor functioning of valves in your leg veins, arterial occlusion, peripheral artery disease, and aneurysms. It can also assess the success of procedures that graft or bypass blood vessels.
How should I prepare for a Vascular Doppler Scan?
Generally, no special preparation is needed. You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and might need to remove all clothing and jewellery in the area to be examined. Inform your technician if you are taking any medications or have any medical implants.
What happens during a Vascular Doppler Scan?
During the scan, a handheld device called a transducer is moved over the body part being examined. The transducer sends and receives sound waves that are amplified through a microphone. The sound waves bounce off circulating red blood cells, and these are translated into an image or graph.
Yes, Vascular Doppler Scans are safe and painless. They do not use ionising radiation, and there are no known risks or side effects directly associated with the use of sound waves in Doppler ultrasound.
