What is a vascular (Doppler) ultrasound?
A Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves to show your blood vessels and measure how blood flows through them. It can show a blood clot in a deep vein, valves in the leg veins that aren’t closing properly, or narrowing in the arteries. It’s painless, uses no radiation and needs no injections.
Which scan do I need?
- Swelling, pain or redness in one leg, especially after surgery, a long flight or during pregnancy: a DVT scan.
- Visible, aching or heavy veins: a varicose vein scan maps the veins before treatment.
- Calf pain when walking or cold feet: an arterial Doppler checks for peripheral arterial disease.
- Stroke risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or smoking: a carotid artery Doppler.
- Mixed symptoms or leg ulcers: the Full Vascular Leg Package checks both arteries and veins.
- Upper tummy pain, suspected gallstones or abnormal liver blood tests: an abdominal ultrasound looks at the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen and bladder.
For the womb and ovaries, see our women’s health scans, and for pregnancy, our pregnancy scans.
Suspected DVT with chest pain or breathlessness is an emergency. If you have sudden breathlessness, chest pain or are coughing up blood, call 999 or go to A&E, as this can be a sign of a clot in the lungs.
Frequently asked questions
Does a Doppler scan hurt?
No. A Doppler ultrasound is painless. You may feel light pressure from the probe, and the gel can feel cool.
How long does a vascular scan take?
Most single-area scans take 15–30 minutes. Full leg packages and bundles take longer; we’ll give you an estimate when you book.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. We’ll give you a written report to share with your GP or specialist.
What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing. For leg scans, shorts or a loose skirt make things easier, but we can provide a gown.
Do I need to prepare for an abdominal ultrasound?
Usually you’ll be asked not to eat for about 6 hours beforehand so your gallbladder can be seen clearly, and to arrive with a comfortably full bladder. We’ll confirm when you book.
