Arterial ultrasound is a noninvasive test that evaluates how blood moves through the arteries and whether narrowing or blockages may be reducing circulation.
What The Test Looks For
Arterial ultrasound is part of TCA's in-office vascular testing, which covers sound-wave studies for blockages in the arteries of the legs, neck, abdomen, and kidneys.
Arterial ultrasound focuses on whether blood flow is reduced, where narrowing may be located, and how extensive the disease appears to be.
How It Fits Into Vascular Workup
When patients have leg pain with walking, poor wound healing, cold feet, or other circulation symptoms, arterial ultrasound is one of the main tools used to decide whether more testing is needed.
It often works alongside ABI measurements or other vascular imaging to guide whether care stays conservative or moves toward intervention planning.
