Service Overview

Adelaide Vascular offers fast and effective evaluation of vascular disease. Our experienced vascular sonographers conduct non-invasive ultrasound scans and physiological tests.

We use ultrasound evaluation for the diagnosis of:

  • Peripheral vascular disease.
  • Varicose veins.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
  • Carotid disease (transient ischemic attacks, stroke evaluation and risk of stroke evaluation).
  • Aortic aneurysmal disease & screening and follow-up.
  • Aorto-iliac occlusive disease & claudication and leg pains.

We evaluate:

  • The severity of arterial insufficiency using the Doppler and toe pressure perfusion test (both resting and during exercise).
  • Venous ulcers (scans for deep and superficial venous incompetence).
  • Adelaide Vascular also offers screening for peripheral vascular occlusive disease and carotid atheroma in the at-risk population (diabetics, smokers and patients with a history of vascular disease).
