What we do
What we do
All of the tests we do use ultrasound to obtain detailed images
of your arteries and veins and the blood flow through
them.
The ultrasound scans are safe, non-invasive (that means no
injections) and the only thing you feel is the pressure of the
probe on your skin. The test does not involve radiation so it's
safe for someone to come in with you if you like.
No special preparation is required prior to the scan and there
are no side-effects after. However, please note you may be required
to remove clothing to uncover your neck, leg, arm or tummy. If you
would like a chaperone during your scan please ask at the reception
desk on arrival.
Please take any medications as usual. If you wear a hearing-aid
or have a pacemaker these will not be affected by the ultrasound
scan.
The main conditions we investigate are:
- Stroke/TIA
- Peripheral arterial disease
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Venous insufficiency/varicose veins
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
