What a dvt (deep vein thrombosis) ultrasound looks at

A leg vein Doppler ultrasound is the key test for a suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — arranged urgently when needed. It is a safe, painless scan that uses sound waves — no radiation — and is interpreted by an experienced clinician who provides a clear written report.

A leg vein Doppler ultrasound is the key test for a suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — a blood clot in a deep leg vein — and we can arrange it urgently when needed. It is used for a swollen, painful calf or leg, redness or warmth in one leg, or a raised D-dimer blood test. We test whether the deep veins compress normally and use colour Doppler to confirm or exclude a clot, comparing with the other leg.

Conditions this dvt (deep vein thrombosis) ultrasound can show

A dvt (deep vein thrombosis) ultrasound at Tower Bridge Hospital is commonly used to look for and assess:

Your scan is interpreted by an experienced clinician who explains the findings in a clear written report, with advice on any next steps. A normal scan is often just as valuable — giving you firm reassurance.

Reasons you might need this scan

People commonly have a dvt (deep vein thrombosis) ultrasound for reasons such as:

One flat fee. Every diagnostic ultrasound is the same price — we do not itemise or add a separate report fee. See our price list for the current fee.

How to prepare and what to expect

No preparation is needed. Wear clothing that allows the whole leg to be exposed. If you have severe calf pain and swelling, please seek urgent care — a suspected DVT should not wait. Your scan takes around 15–30 minutes. During the scan a small amount of warm gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the area. It is painless and there is no radiation. You will receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards, with clear advice on any next steps. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm, with same-day and walk-in appointments in Whitechapel, East London.

DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) Ultrasound — common questions

Is ultrasound the test for a suspected blood clot in the leg?

Yes. A compression Doppler ultrasound is the standard test to confirm or rule out a DVT. If your symptoms are severe, please treat it as urgent and seek immediate care.

Can the scan tell if my leg swelling is something other than a clot?

Yes. It commonly finds alternative causes such as a burst Baker's cyst or superficial clot, which the report will explain.

How much does a dvt (deep vein thrombosis) ultrasound cost?

We charge one flat fee for any diagnostic ultrasound, with no itemising and no separate report fee. See our fees page for the current price.

Do I need a GP referral for a dvt (deep vein thrombosis) ultrasound?

No referral is needed for most scans — you can book directly. A small number of specialist scans are done on referral; we will tell you clearly if that applies.

How long does the scan take and when do I get results?

Most scans take 15–30 minutes and you receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards.
