Peripheral Ultrasound

Peripheral ultrasounds are used to assess narrowing or blockages in the arteries and veins of the arms and legs. These are the main arteries in the neck that provide blood to the brain. 

This is a painless procedure that requires a small amount of ultrasound gel and a transducer to be placed on your arms or legs. With this procedure we can help determine your risk for stroke.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE FOR THIS PROCEDURE, PLEASE BRING THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WITH YOU:

  • All your current medications in their original containers

  • Your current picture ID

  • Your current insurance card
