Why Choose Mobile Vascular Ultrasound in Placerville?

When it comes to diagnostic imaging, you deserve a team that combines clinical rigor with genuine care. Here is why Placerville residents trust UltraVision Imaging:

• RDMS-Certified Vascular Sonographers: Our registered vascular technologists (RVT) and RDMS sonographers are specially trained in vascular imaging protocols, ensuring reliable and thorough evaluations.
• Mobile Service Available: We bring vascular ultrasound directly to your home or clinic, which is especially valuable for patients with mobility limitations or those at high risk for DVT.
• Non-Invasive Vascular Assessment: Our vascular ultrasound uses Doppler technology to visualize blood flow in your arteries and veins — no needles, no contrast dye, and no radiation.
• Critical for Stroke Prevention: A carotid duplex ultrasound can detect dangerous plaque buildup in the carotid arteries — a leading cause of stroke. Early detection saves lives.
• 24-Hour Results: A board-certified radiologist with vascular imaging expertise interprets your study and delivers a report to your physician within 24 hours.

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 Placerville 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.

• Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): A quick, non-invasive test comparing blood pressure in the arms and legs to screen for peripheral arterial disease.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
