Doppler Ultrasound of the Lower Limbs (Venous & Arterial)

Comprehensive Circulatory Assessment — Accurate, Non-Invasive, Essential
At Total Health Medical Centre, our Doppler Ultrasound of the Lower Limbs provides a full-spectrum evaluation of the blood flow in both the veins and arteries of your legs. This advanced, non-invasive imaging test uses high-frequency sound waves to assess circulation, detect clots or narrowing of blood vessels, evaluate valve function, and identify conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Whether you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling, cold feet, or visible veins — or you have risk factors like diabetes, high cholesterol, or a history of clots — this scan offers crucial insights to help protect your vascular health.
What the Test Covers
Venous System (Superficial & Deep)
Evaluation of both deep and superficial veins, including the femoral, popliteal, tibial, great saphenous, and small saphenous veins
Detection of blood clots (DVT) and venous reflux
Assessment of valve function and venous obstruction
Ideal for investigating leg swelling, varicose veins, and skin changes
Arterial System
Evaluation of major arteries in the lower limbs for blockages, plaque build-up, or narrowing (stenosis)
Detection of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and impaired blood supply
Assessment of circulatory problems such as cold extremities, non-healing wounds, or intermittent claudication (cramping during walking)

Leg swelling or pain (especially in the calf)
Varicose veins or visible leg veins
Skin discoloration or ulcers on the legs
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs
Cold feet or delayed wound healing
History or risk of blood clots, PAD, or diabetes
