ARTERIAL DUPLEX SCAN ( DVT )

Intended Use: 

Uses sound waves to evaluate the arteries in your arms for possible narrowing or blockage.

Uses sound waves to create a color map of the arteries in your legs to identify:

• Narrowing of your vessels that may be causing leg pain when walking
• Resting leg pain
• Foot, ankle, heel or toe ulcers
• Skin discoloration

 A carotid duplex ultrasound is performed to evaluate symptoms including dizziness, loss of memory, stroke, loss of  muscle control and other symptoms that might result from narrowing or blockage of the vessels (carotid arteries) on either side of your neck. A carotid ultrasound can also be used to screen for stroke risk.
