Vascular Ultrasound
Harbour Radiology provides an extensive range of high quality bulk billed ultrasound imaging including vascular ultrasounds. Vascular ultrasound scans use no radiation and instead utilise high frequency sound waves to image the blood vessels, arteries and associated structures.
We are able to do a wide variety of vascular ultrasounds including, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), peripheral artery, venous dopplers, venous insufficiency and carotid doppler scans. The scan does not require any invasive imaging as the ultrasound probe is run across the outside of the area being examined.
