Safe, Painless, and Precise Blood Flow Evaluation

At Medex Diagnostic Services, we offer Portable Vascular Ultrasound services that help assess the health of your blood vessels — including arteries and veins — without the need for invasive procedures or radiation exposure. We bring diagnostic vascular imaging right to your location, making it simple and convenient.

What is a Vascular Ultrasound?

Vascular ultrasound is a non-invasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of your arteries and veins. It is essential in diagnosing conditions related to:

  • Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, DVT).
  • Artery blockages or narrowing.
  • Poor circulation.
  • Aneurysms.
  • Carotid artery disease (stroke risk assessment).

Types of Vascular Ultrasound We Provide

  1. Carotid Duplex Ultrasound
    • Evaluates blood flow through the carotid arteries in the neck.
    • Detects blockages or narrowing, which could lead to stroke.
  2. Venous Doppler Ultrasound
    • Checks for blood clots (DVT) or venous insufficiency in the upper or lower extremities (arms & legs).
    • Identifies causes of swelling, pain, or discoloration.
  3. Arterial Doppler Ultrasound
    • Assesses blood flow in the arteries of the upper or lower extremities (arms or legs).
    • Helps diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) and other arterial circulation problems.
