Healthy blood flow is essential for every organ and system in the body. When circulation is compromised, it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening conditions. Vascular ultrasound is one of the most important diagnostic imaging exams for evaluating blood vessels and ensuring healthy circulation. Whether you’re experiencing swelling, pain, numbness, varicose veins, or simply need a screening for vascular health, vascular ultrasound provides a safe, powerful, and highly accurate way to assess arteries and veins without radiation or invasive procedures.
Vascular ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of blood vessels and measure blood flow in real time. Unlike traditional imaging methods that use contrast dye or radiation, vascular ultrasound is painless, radiation-free, and completely non-invasive. This makes it suitable for patients of all ages, including those with chronic conditions, patients who require frequent monitoring, and anyone seeking early detection of circulation problems.
What Does a Vascular Ultrasound Evaluate?
Vascular ultrasound is designed to evaluate the condition and function of blood vessels throughout the body. This test provides essential insight into circulation, vessel structure, and blood flow patterns to help detect and diagnose vascular diseases early — before serious complications develop.
Vascular ultrasound is a non-invasive test used to evaluate blood flow in the arteries and veins throughout the body. At Beverly Hills Ultrasound Center, we perform advanced vascular imaging to detect circulation problems early and accurately. We assess major vessels including the carotid arteries, abdominal aorta, and lower and upper extremity arteries and veins. This exam helps diagnose DVT (deep vein thrombosis), peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, blockages, plaque, aneurysms, and reduced blood flow. Our center uses Color and Power Doppler to visualize blood flow in real time and identify abnormalities with high precision. The test is quick, painless, radiation-free, and available with same-day appointments in Beverly Hills.
Conditions Vascular Ultrasound Can Help Diagnose
Vascular ultrasound is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools for identifying circulation-related conditions. It is frequently used to evaluate symptoms such as leg pain, swelling, numbness, varicose veins, dizziness, or suspected vascular disease. Common conditions detected include:
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
- Varicose Veins and Venous Insufficiency
- Plaque buildup and arterial narrowing
- Carotid artery disease (stroke risk evaluation)
- Aneurysms, including abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Blockages or reduced blood flow
- Post-surgical vascular monitoring
Early detection is critical. Untreated vascular problems can lead to heart attack, stroke, limb complications, chronic pain, and serious medical emergencies. Vascular ultrasound supports patients by helping physicians diagnose issues early, create effective treatment plans, and monitor vascular health over time.
Advanced Technology for Superior Precision
At Beverly Hills Ultrasound, our vascular imaging is performed using state-of-the-art equipment designed to deliver crystal-clear imaging and highly accurate diagnostic results. Our use of Color and Power Doppler allows us to visualize blood flow in real time, highlighting the direction, speed, and quality of circulation. This advanced imaging capability enables specialists to detect abnormalities that may not be visible on standard scans.
With our comprehensive vascular evaluation, we can assess the carotid arteries in the neck (important for stroke prevention), the abdominal aorta, and the arteries and veins of both the upper and lower extremities. Whether for screening, diagnosis, or ongoing monitoring, patients receive precise and reliable imaging combined with compassionate, professional care.
Fast, Comfortable, and Radiation-Free Testing
Vascular ultrasound is comfortable, quick, and completely non-invasive. There are no injections, no discomfort, and no recovery time. Most exams are completed efficiently, and many patients appreciate the peace of mind this test provides. Because it is radiation-free, vascular ultrasound can be safely repeated when needed to track changes or monitor improvements.
If you’ve been experiencing symptoms such as swelling, heaviness, pain, numbness, cold limbs, visible veins, or unexplained dizziness, vascular ultrasound may be the key step in protecting your health and preventing complications.
