Arterial Duplex Ultrasound (Upper/Lower Limbs)
Our primary mission as Circulation Specialists is to help you achieve the healthiest circulation possible for your stage in life.
Whatever your lifestyle, genetic predisposition or individual health aspirations – Your Circulation is your Lifeline.
This is an ultrasound of the arm (shoulder to wrist)/leg (abdomen to ankle) arteries for any disease in the arterial circulation.
Utilising both grayscale and colour functions, it aims to diagnose arterial disease in the upper and lower limbs (eg. calcification, plaque, stenosis, aneurysm). This assessment is also designed for post-operative follow-up to ensure the normal functioning of a vascular stent or graft.
Report will include
- Morphologic and hemodynamic findings of arm arteries / abdominal & leg arteries
- Presence of aneurysm, calcification, plaque
- Stenosis grading and localization
- Presence of collaterals and recanalization
