Our Services
Comprehensive Vascular Imaging
We offer a complete range of non-invasive vascular ultrasound studies, each performed by experienced sonographers and reviewed by specialist vascular surgeons.
Arterial Studies
Arterial studies for precise vascular evaluation
Our arterial imaging provides a detailed assessment of the peripheral vascular system. Using duplex ultrasound, we evaluate blood flow through the arteries to detect narrowing, blockages, and other abnormalities that may compromise circulation.
What We Assess
- Stenosis detection and severity grading
- Aneurysm screening and monitoring
- Peripheral artery disease assessment
- Post-surgical graft surveillance
- ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index) measurement
Venous Studies
Venous studies for deep vein assessment
Comprehensive venous imaging for the detection and characterisation of venous disease. Our studies evaluate both the deep and superficial venous systems to identify thrombosis, reflux, and insufficiency.
What We Assess
- Deep vein thrombosis identification
- Valve function assessment
- Upper and lower extremity veins
- Venous insufficiency mapping
- Pre-treatment varicose vein assessment
Carotid Imaging
Carotid imaging for stroke prevention
Detailed evaluation of the extracranial carotid arteries to assess stroke risk. Our carotid studies provide critical information about plaque burden, vessel narrowing, and blood flow dynamics that guide clinical decision-making.
What We Assess
- Plaque characterisation and burden assessment
- Stenosis grading and haemodynamic evaluation
- Vertebral artery assessment and flow analysis
- Intima-media thickness measurement
- Post-endarterectomy surveillance
Aortic Screening
Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
Non-invasive screening and surveillance for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Early detection through ultrasound screening significantly reduces the risk of rupture by enabling timely intervention.
What We Assess
- Aneurysm diameter measurement and tracking
- Rupture risk assessment and surveillance
- Aortic wall integrity and thrombus evaluation
- Iliac artery assessment
- Post-EVAR endoleak surveillance
Peripheral Assessment
Peripheral arterial disease assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of the peripheral arterial system using segmental pressures, waveform analysis, and duplex imaging. These studies are essential for diagnosing and monitoring peripheral arterial disease.
What We Assess
- Segmental pressure indices and waveform analysis
- Arterial stenosis localisation and severity
- Claudication assessment and walking distance correlation
- Toe pressure measurement
- Exercise testing with post-exercise ABI
Our Equipment
State-of-the-Art Technology
We use the latest generation duplex ultrasound systems that combine high-resolution B-mode imaging with spectral and colour Doppler analysis. This enables real-time visualisation of blood flow with exceptional clarity and diagnostic accuracy.
Our digital reporting system ensures rapid turnaround of results to referring clinicians, with urgent findings communicated immediately.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most vascular ultrasound studies take between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the type of study and the complexity of the assessment. Some comprehensive studies may take slightly longer.
Preparation varies by study type. For aortic and some arterial studies, you may be asked to fast for 6 hours beforehand. For venous studies, no specific preparation is usually required. Our team will advise you when booking.
Yes, vascular ultrasound uses sound waves to create images — there is no radiation involved. It is completely non-invasive and safe for all patients, including those who are pregnant.
A detailed report is typically available within two business days. Results are sent directly to your referring clinician. Urgent findings are communicated immediately.
Yes, you are welcome to bring a support person to your appointment. They can wait in our reception area or accompany you during the study if appropriate.
Vascular ultrasound requires no enclosed space — unlike MRI or CT scanning. You will lie comfortably on an examination bed while the sonographer uses a small probe on your skin.
