Arterial Evaluation (Upper/Lower Extremity)

The arteries in the arms and legs are the primary vessels that provide oxygen and blood to the tissues and muscles. An arterial ultrasound of the lower and upper extremities is a non-invasive imaging test that uses sound waves to offer images of the arteries to determine any changes in the blood flow. An arterial evaluation usually takes half an hour to an hour, and no specific preparation is necessary before the test. The patient must wear loose-fitting clothes to give the radiologist easy access to the arms and legs.

An arterial ultrasound provides a vascular surgeon with accurate imaging of patients with a suspected arterial disease or any other issue to help them manage the condition successfully. The procedure involves no radiation or chemicals and is performed by trained, specialized technicians with years of hands-on experience in ultrasound technology. An arterial ultrasound is a popular and trusted method to detect blood flow circulation issues and allow the doctor to make appropriate decisions.
