Doppler Lower-Limb Circulation Assessment — Accurate & Non-Invasive.

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 blood clots or narrowing of blood vessels, evaluate venous valve function, and identify conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Whether you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling of the feet/legs, cold feet, or concerned about visible/varicose 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 allowing blood-flow reflux

• Ideal for investigating leg swelling, varicose veins, and skin-colour changes of the lower limbs such as darkening of the skin around the ankles, or ulcers/sores of the legs.

Arterial System

• Evaluation of major arteries in the lower limbs for blockages, plaque build-up, or narrowing (stenosis)

• Detection of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and impaired blood supply

• Assessment of circulatory problems such as cold extremities, non-healing wounds, or intermittent claudication (cramping during walking)

When Is This Test Recommended?

• 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

• Pre-surgical vascular evaluation

• Occupational health or travel screening

What to Expect

• Non-invasive and painless procedure lasting approximately 45–60 minutes

• You’ll lie comfortably while a trained sonographer applies gel and uses a Doppler probe on different parts of your leg

• You may be asked to stand, breathe deeply, or change positions to assess venous valve function and blood flow dynamics

• No radiation or injections involved

Results should be typically reviewed by your physician promptly to guide any necessary treatment.
