What a lower-extremity arterial scan costs in Maine, without a referral.
The Short Answer
A lower-extremity arterial duplex at BlackPoint is $397 at our Falmouth imaging center, or $597 on-site at your home or workplace in Southern Maine. That is the whole price, including the board-certified cardiologist review.
We publish the price because most places do not. If you have called a hospital and been told the cost depends on your plan, your deductible and which department does the billing, that is the difference.
Included
HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Payment plans are available at checkout.
The Study
A leg artery ultrasound images the arteries running from the groin to the ankle. It measures how well blood is reaching your feet and looks for narrowing caused by plaque. It is the study for calf or thigh pain that comes on when you walk and eases when you stop, for a foot wound that will not heal, and for a foot that is persistently cold or discoloured. The scan takes 45 to 60 minutes.

Questions
$397 at our Falmouth imaging center, or $597 if we come to your home or workplace in Southern Maine. That covers the scan, the board-certified cardiologist read and the written report.
No. BlackPoint is direct-access, so you can book the study yourself. We send the report to your physician on request.
Cramping pain in the calf, thigh or buttock that comes on with walking and settles within a few minutes of rest is called claudication, and it is the classic presentation of peripheral artery disease. An arterial duplex shows whether a narrowed artery is the cause.
No. This scans the arteries, which carry blood toward the foot. A venous duplex scans the veins, which return it, and is the study for clot and for swelling. If you are not sure which you need, call and we will work it out before you book.
24 to 48 hours. Every study is reviewed by Dr. Glenn Gandelman, MD, MPH, FACC, FASE, a board-certified cardiologist.
