Home General Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasounds use high frequency sound waves to assess the blood flow of blood vessels in the body, including those in the neck, arms, and legs, from the groin to the ankle. These exams can be ordered to check the flow of blood to brain and assess the risk for a stroke, or blood clots in the leg or arm. They can assess the blood flow into and out of the kidneys and the liver.
Some vascular exams compare the blood pressure in your arm to the pressure at your ankle to determine how well your blood is flowing from your heart to your feet. On occasion, additional blood pressure readings make be taken at the toes.
We do our best to have our radiologists interpret the information and forward the results to your doctor by the next business day. Please consult with your doctor regarding your results and any follow up exams or questions.
These exams are covered under your Alberta Health Care Plan. Only liver Doppler and venous ultrasounds are available at our Regina clinic; all other vascular ultrasounds are not offered at our Saskatchewan clinics.
Please ensure that you bring your requisition with you to your appointment.
