What to Expect During Your Vascular Ultrasound Appointment
Understanding the process helps you feel prepared and at ease. Here is a step-by-step guide to your vascular ultrasound at our El Dorado Hills location.
Scheduling Your Appointment
Contact us to schedule your vascular ultrasound. Most appointments are available within 48 hours. We accommodate urgent DVT referrals.
Preparing for Your Scan
Most vascular ultrasound exams require no special preparation. For an abdominal aorta study, fasting for 8 hours prior may be requested. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being examined.
During the Scan
Warm gel is applied to the skin over the vessels being evaluated. The sonographer uses a specialized Doppler transducer to visualize blood flow in real time. You may hear pulsing sounds — these are the Doppler signals from your blood flow. The exam typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the study.
Receiving Your Results
A board-certified radiologist with vascular expertise reviews your images and sends a detailed report to your referring physician within 48 hours.
Follow-Up Care
Your physician will review the findings and discuss next steps, which may include medication adjustments, specialist referral, or additional imaging.
Our Vascular Ultrasound Capabilities
UltraVision Imaging offers a comprehensive range of vascular ultrasound studies using advanced portable ultrasound systems. All exams are performed by RDMS-certified sonographers and interpreted by board-certified radiologists.
- Renal Artery Doppler: Assessment of blood flow to the kidneys, often ordered for patients with resistant hypertension or renal artery stenosis suspicion.
- Abdominal Aorta Screening (AAA): Measurement of the abdominal aorta diameter to screen for aneurysm — a potentially fatal condition if undetected.
- Carotid Duplex Ultrasound: Assessment of the carotid arteries in the neck for plaque buildup and stenosis — a key screening tool for stroke prevention.
- Lower Extremity Venous (DVT) Ultrasound: Evaluation of leg veins for deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), a potentially life-threatening condition if a clot travels to the lungs.
- Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): A quick, non-invasive test comparing blood pressure in the arms and legs to screen for peripheral arterial disease.
- Upper Extremity Venous/Arterial Studies: Evaluation of arm veins and arteries for blood clots, stenosis, or compression syndromes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vascular Ultrasound in El Dorado Hills
Yes, a physician’s order is required for diagnostic vascular studies. Your primary care doctor, cardiologist, or vascular surgeon can provide the referral.
The duration depends on the study: a carotid duplex takes about 30 minutes, a lower extremity venous exam takes 30 to 45 minutes, and more comprehensive studies may take up to 60 minutes.
Your images are interpreted by a board-certified radiologist, and a report is sent to your referring physician within 48 hours.
Vascular ultrasound pricing varies depending on the specific study ordered — carotid, venous, or arterial. We accept most major insurance plans and offer competitive self-pay rates. Contact our team for a personalized quote.
Vascular ultrasound is painless for most patients. Mild pressure from the transducer is normal. Some patients with existing pain or swelling may experience brief discomfort during compression maneuvers used to assess vein patency.
A carotid duplex ultrasound evaluates the carotid arteries in your neck for plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) that can restrict blood flow to the brain. Significant narrowing increases your risk of stroke. Early detection allows your doctor to take preventive action.
Most vascular studies require no special preparation. For abdominal aorta scans, fasting for 8 hours may be needed. Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being examined.
