Doppler ultrasound of the leg arteries to evaluate circulation and possible blockages.
A lower extremity arterial ultrasound uses Doppler to check blood flow in the arteries of the legs. It is often ordered for leg pain when walking, slow-healing wounds, or suspected peripheral artery disease (PAD).
No special preparation is needed. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. The exam usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
This exam is performed by an ARDMS-registered sonographer at our Beverly Hills office, and is also available through our EZ Diagnostic mobile ultrasound service at your home, clinic or care facility. Images are interpreted by a board-certified physician, and results are sent to your referring healthcare provider. Please bring your physician’s order and a photo ID to your appointment. Questions? Call (310) 598-6208.
