Ultrasound of arteries of lower limbs

Ultrasound is used to detect narrowing and blockages in the arteries of the lower limbs.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THE EXAMINATION?  

The examination is painless, safe and without side effects.   

MORE ABOUT EXAMINATION  

The examination is performed with the patient lying on the back, or on the stomach if necessary. You take off your shoes and trousers, skirt and socks before the examination.  

We examine all the arteries in both lower limbs, checking for any narrowing or blockages, and checking the success of interventions (surgery, intravascular interventions).  

DURATION OF EXAMINATION  

An ultrasound examination of the lower limbs’ arteries takes 5–15 minutes, depending on the extent of the disease.  

PREPARATION FOR THE EXAMINATION  

No special preparation is needed; we recommend wearing shorts (briefs) only for feeling more comfortable.
