Arterial Upper Limb Ultrasound
An Arterial Upper Limb Ultrasound is a scan that looks at the arteries in one or both of your arms. This ultrasound checks how well blood is flowing and helps identify any stenosis, which means narrowing or blockages in the arteries. The Arterial Upper Limb Ultrasound is an important test for finding circulation problems early, especially if you have arm pain, numbness, or symptoms that suggest reduced blood flow.
This scan is safe, painless, and provides clear information about the health of your arm arteries. Doctors often use the Arterial Upper Limb Ultrasound to diagnose circulation issues and to plan the right treatment if needed.
Why an Arterial Upper Limb Ultrasound Is Important
- Checks blood flow in the arteries of your arms
