This scan is available to men from 45 years of age.
We will perform a detailed scan including Doppler ultrasound to measure blood pressure in the:
- brachial arteries in both arms
- tibial arteries in both legs
Common example for having this ultrasound screening is to determine:
- ankle brachial index (ABI) and early signs of peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
We will provide a Sonographer report at the time with a Medical Follow Up Recommendation if necessary.
See our FAQ page if you would like to know more about any of our scans.
