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 Lincoln location.
Scheduling Your Appointment
Contact us to schedule your vascular ultrasound. Most appointments are available within 24 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 24 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.
- Upper Extremity Venous/Arterial Studies: Evaluation of arm veins and arteries for blood clots, stenosis, or compression syndromes.
- 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.
- Carotid Duplex Ultrasound: Assessment of the carotid arteries in the neck for plaque buildup and stenosis — a key screening tool for stroke prevention.
- Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): A quick, non-invasive test comparing blood pressure in the arms and legs to screen for peripheral arterial disease.
- Abdominal Aorta Screening (AAA): Measurement of the abdominal aorta diameter to screen for aneurysm — a potentially fatal condition if undetected.

Who Benefits from Vascular Ultrasound in Lincoln?
Vascular Ultrasound serves a wide range of patients across Lincoln and the surrounding Placer County communities. Here are some common scenarios where this imaging is recommended:
- Patients with sudden leg swelling, redness, or pain need urgent venous ultrasound to rule out deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can be life-threatening if a clot reaches the lungs.
- Adults with risk factors for stroke — high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking history, or family history of stroke — benefit from carotid duplex ultrasound to assess their carotid arteries.
- Individuals with leg pain during walking (claudication), numbness, or slow-healing wounds may have peripheral arterial disease, which can be diagnosed with arterial ultrasound.
If your physician has recommended a vascular ultrasound, or if you have concerns that may warrant imaging, contact UltraVision Imaging to schedule your appointment in Lincoln.

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.
