A complete check of your leg circulation
When symptoms could come from either arteries or veins, scanning both gives the full picture. This package combines:
- An arterial Doppler, checking for narrowing or blockages that reduce blood supply
- A venous Doppler, checking for faulty valves (reflux) and for clots in the deep veins
It’s especially useful for leg ulcers that are slow to heal, where knowing the arterial supply is important before compression treatment.
What’s included
- Arterial Doppler
- Venous Doppler including reflux assessment
- Deep vein check for clots
- Comprehensive written report
Who it’s for
- Mixed symptoms: pain, swelling and skin discolouration
- Chronic leg problems or leg ulcers
- A full circulation check
How to prepare
- Wear loose clothing. Allow up to an hour for your appointment.

Why scan both arteries and veins?
Some symptoms, such as leg pain, swelling and ulcers, can be caused by either. Checking both avoids missing a second problem and guides safe treatment.
