Vascular ultrasound is a safe, painless diagnostic test used to evaluate how blood flows through your arteries and veins. At Heart & Vascular Clinic, our board-certified cardiologists use state-of-the-art vascular ultrasound technology to detect blockages, clots, and circulation issues—helping us diagnose and manage a wide range of cardiovascular conditions with precision and care.
Vascular ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of your blood vessels and the flow of blood through them. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, this technology uses no ionizing radiation, making it safe for repeated use.
By assessing blood flow patterns and vessel structure, we can detect early signs of vascular disease and prevent serious complications like stroke, aneurysm, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Vascular ultrasound is commonly used to diagnose or monitor:
It’s also used to assess blood flow to organs and tissues, evaluate pain, swelling, or circulation issues in the limbs, and determine suitability for vascular surgery.
During a vascular ultrasound:
We may also use Doppler ultrasound, which shows the speed and direction of blood flow using color and sound to highlight abnormalities that can’t be seen with traditional ultrasound alone.
Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of poor circulation or need follow-up care after a procedure, our expert team at Heart & Vascular Clinic is here to help. We proudly serve patients in Newark, Wilmington, and Middletown, DE with compassionate, comprehensive cardiovascular care.
