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 Orangevale 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.

  • Lower Extremity Arterial Ultrasound: Assessment of leg arteries for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which can cause pain, numbness, and poor wound healing.
  • Carotid Duplex Ultrasound: Assessment of the carotid arteries in the neck for plaque buildup and stenosis — a key screening tool for stroke prevention.
  • Abdominal Aorta Screening (AAA): Measurement of the abdominal aorta diameter to screen for aneurysm — a potentially fatal condition if undetected.
  • Renal Artery Doppler: Assessment of blood flow to the kidneys, often ordered for patients with resistant hypertension or renal artery stenosis suspicion.
  • 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.

Who Benefits from Vascular Ultrasound in Orangevale?

Vascular Ultrasound serves a wide range of patients across Orangevale and the surrounding Sacramento County communities. Here are some common scenarios where this imaging is recommended:

  • Men aged 65 to 75 who have ever smoked should receive a one-time abdominal aortic aneurysm screening — ultrasound is the gold standard for this exam.
  • Individuals with leg pain during walking (claudication), numbness, or slow-healing wounds may have peripheral arterial disease, which can be diagnosed with arterial ultrasound.
  • 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.

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 Orangevale.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vascular Ultrasound in Orangevale

1. Do I need a referral for a vascular ultrasound?

Yes, a physician’s order is required for diagnostic vascular studies. Your primary care doctor, cardiologist, or vascular surgeon can provide the referral.

2. How long does a vascular ultrasound take?

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.

3. What is a carotid ultrasound and why is it important?

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.

4. How do I prepare for a vascular ultrasound?

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.

5. Can a vascular ultrasound detect blood clots?

Yes. A venous duplex ultrasound is the primary diagnostic tool for detecting deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or arms. If a clot is found, your doctor can begin treatment immediately.

6. Is vascular ultrasound painful?

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.

7. How much does a vascular ultrasound cost in Orangevale?

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.
