A venous ultrasound is a safe, painless test that evaluates the veins, most often in the legs. It helps your provider see how blood is flowing back to the heart and whether the veins and valves are working properly.
This test may be used to:
No. You may feel mild pressure, but the test is non-invasive and painless.
An arterial ultrasound evaluates the arteries, which carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. It helps detect narrowed or blocked arteries that may reduce blood flow.
This test may be ordered to:
No. An arterial ultrasound is painless and non-invasive, with no needles or radiation.
An ABI test, or Ankle-Brachial Index, is a simple, non-invasive test that checks how well blood is flowing to your legs. It compares the blood pressure in your ankles to the blood pressure in your arms to screen for peripheral artery disease (PAD).
An ABI test may be ordered to:
No. You may feel brief pressure from the cuffs, but the test is painless and does not involve needles or radiation.
Results are often available the same day and will be reviewed with you by your HVLC provider.
