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 West Sacramento 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Renal Artery Doppler: Assessment of blood flow to the kidneys, often ordered for patients with resistant hypertension or renal artery stenosis suspicion.

Vascular Ultrasound serves a wide range of patients across West Sacramento and the surrounding Yolo County communities. Here are some common scenarios where this imaging is recommended:
- Individuals with leg pain during walking (claudication), numbness, or slow-healing wounds may have peripheral arterial disease, which can be diagnosed with arterial ultrasound.
- 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.
- 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.
