Vascular Ultrasound

Adelaide Vascular performs ultrasound and physiological testing for the diagnosis of vascular disease.

Clear descriptions of the tests and diseases are available for patients here. Patients can also go here to find information about what to expect when they come to Adelaide Vascular for a scan, including details about all procedures and any preparation that might be necessary.

Referring doctors should go to referrer information for more details about bookings and reports.

We use ultrasound evaluation for the diagnosis of:

• Peripheral vascular disease.
• Varicose veins.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
• Carotid disease (transient ischemic attacks, stroke evaluation and risk of stroke evaluation).
• Aortic aneurysmal disease & screening and follow-up.
• Aorto-iliac occlusive disease & claudication and leg pains.

We evaluate:

• The severity of arterial insufficiency using the Doppler and toe pressure perfusion test (both resting and during exercise).
• Venous ulcers (scans for deep and superficial venous incompetence).

Adelaide Vascular also offers screening for peripheral vascular occlusive disease and carotid atheroma in the at-risk population (diabetics, smokers and patients with a history of vascular disease).
