What is a Vascular Ultrasound?

Ultrasounds are important tools used in the diagnosis and detection of various medical conditions. A vascular ultrasound in particular is used to monitor blood flow in the veins and arteries, helping locate blood clots, blockages and more.

All vascular ultrasounds performed at Pinehurst Surgical Clinic are non-invasive, which means the procedure will not require the use of needles, dyes, radiation or anesthesia. Each exam will be performed by a certified ultrasound technician.

Explore the list of vascular ultrasounds and other related procedures used to diagnose various vascular and vein issues below:

• Carotid duplex – Used to evaluate the carotid arteries located in the neck that feed the brain with blood
• Vein mapping – Used to evaluate the veins that carry blood to the heart from the legs or arms
• Arterial duplex – Used to evaluate the arteries that feed the arms and legs with blood
• Arterial pressures and waveforms (PVR) – Used to evaluate the arteries that supply the arms and legs with blood and locate areas of blockage within the arteries
