Vascular Ultrasound

Vascular ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to obtain a medical image or picture of blood flow through various vessels in the body. Vascular ultrasound produces precise images and measurements of many blood vessels in the body. It is commonly used to image the carotid artery in the neck, or arteries and veins in legs and arms. This type of ultrasound can detect diseased vessels and identify a wide variety of changing conditions, enabling your doctor to make a quick and accurate diagnosis. You may hear sounds similar to a heartbeat coming from the machine. This is a common sound when this procedure images the blood flow to and/or from the heart.
