Imaging That Supports the Right Treatment Plan

Vascular tests help identify whether symptoms are caused by arterial, venous or other circulation problems and define the location and severity of disease.

First-line imaging

Vascular Ultrasound and Doppler

Ultrasound is non-invasive, uses no radiation and provides real-time information about blood flow. The exact scan depends on the symptoms and the blood vessels being assessed.

A Doppler result is most useful when interpreted together with the patient’s symptoms, pulse examination, skin changes, wounds and previous procedures.

Arterial Doppler Ultrasound

Assesses blood flow, narrowing and blockage in limb arteries.

Venous Doppler Ultrasound

Evaluates deep vein thrombosis, venous obstruction and varicose-vein reflux.

Ankle-Brachial Index

Compares blood pressure at the ankle and arm as a screening measure for leg circulation.

Carotid Doppler

Examines the neck arteries for plaque and narrowing that may affect stroke risk.

Dialysis Access Mapping

Maps arteries and veins before AV fistula creation and evaluates existing access.

CT or MR Angiography

Provides detailed cross-sectional images for selected arterial, venous and aortic problems.

Before your scan

What to Bring for a Vascular Assessment

Previous scans

Bring Doppler, angiography and relevant radiology reports or image discs.

Medication list

Include blood thinners, diabetes medicines and blood-pressure treatment.

Procedure history

Share details of previous angioplasty, bypass, vein treatment or dialysis access.

Symptom timeline

Note when pain, swelling, colour change or wounds began and how they have changed.
