What a peripheral arterial ultrasound looks at

This Doppler scan assesses the arteries of the legs or arms for narrowing that limits blood flow. 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.

This Doppler scan assesses the arteries of the legs (or arms) for narrowing that limits blood flow, the cause of cramping leg pain on walking (claudication). It is used for leg pain on walking, cold or pale feet, poor healing of a foot wound, or known peripheral arterial disease. We map the arteries and identify where flow is reduced by narrowing or blockage.

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 limb to be exposed. Please keep warm before the appointment, as cold limbs can reduce blood flow and affect the assessment. 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.

Peripheral Arterial Ultrasound — common questions

Why do my legs hurt when I walk?

Cramping calf pain that eases with rest can be claudication from narrowed leg arteries. This scan assesses the arterial flow to help confirm peripheral arterial disease.

Is this scan uncomfortable?

No. It is a painless Doppler ultrasound with gel and a probe over the limb, with no needles and no radiation.

How much does a peripheral arterial 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 peripheral arterial 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.
