Duplex Vascular Scan
A detailed, radiation-free ultrasound that maps blockages in your leg arteries, in India.
A duplex vascular scan for the legs in India is a detailed, radiation-free ultrasound that both pictures the leg arteries and measures blood flow through them, pinpointing exactly where the vessels are narrowed or blocked so that diabetic foot treatment can be planned accurately. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) vascular imaging is guided by Dr. Ashutosh Shah and our team in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why a Duplex Vascular Scan Matters
Bedside tests can tell you that circulation is reduced, but not exactly where the problem lies. A duplex scan maps the blockage, which is essential before any procedure to restore blood flow. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines support detailed vascular imaging when a diabetic foot wound is not healing and revascularisation is being considered.
How the Duplex Vascular Scan Is Done
- Gel is applied and an ultrasound probe is moved along the leg.
- B-mode ultrasound pictures the artery walls and any narrowing.
- Doppler measures the speed and direction of blood flow.
- Together these locate and grade blockages along the leg arteries.
- The scan is painless, uses no radiation and no injections.
A duplex scan is often ordered after an abnormal ABI or audio Doppler examination.
Who Should Get a Duplex Vascular Scan
- Diabetics with a non-healing foot ulcer and suspected poor circulation.
- Patients with leg pain at rest or on walking.
- Anyone whose earlier PAD screening was abnormal.
- Those being planned for a procedure to restore blood flow.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first dedicated diabetic foot-care chain, and imaging here is tied directly to limb salvage. Your scan is read within a complete vascular assessment, so findings translate straight into a treatment plan rather than a report that sits unused.
What Happens After the Scan
If arteries are clear, wound care continues with confidence. If a blockage is found, you are guided toward treatment to restore blood flow through our vascular services, reducing the risk of amputation.
