A painless, 30-minute peripheral arterial duplex ultrasound performed at your home in Lewiston by an ARDMS-certified cardiovascular sonographer. We evaluate blood flow through the arteries of your legs — detecting blockages, narrowing, and circulation problems — the same hospital-grade imaging, without the hospital. Board-certified cardiologist report delivered within 24–48 hours.
Clinical Indications
A peripheral arterial duplex evaluates blood flow through your leg arteries to detect peripheral artery disease (PAD) — plaque that restricts circulation and, left untreated, can lead to critical limb ischemia. Leg pain when walking that improves with rest, cold feet, or non-healing wounds are common reasons it's ordered. See our full guide to peripheral artery disease for the complete list of conditions and candidates. For Lewiston residents, that means no drive to Central Maine Medical Center and no multi-week wait — just a same-week visit to your home.
What We're Looking For
Identifies narrowing in the femoral, popliteal, and tibial arteries. Stenosis severity is graded by velocity changes and waveform patterns at each level.
Arterial duplex provides anatomic detail that complements ABI screening — showing exactly where blockages are located and how severe they are.
Normal leg arteries produce a triphasic waveform. Monophasic or dampened waveforms indicate significant upstream stenosis or occlusion.
When a main artery is blocked, the body develops detour pathways. Identifying collateral vessels tells us how long a blockage has been developing.
Evaluates the three arteries below the knee that supply the foot. Adequate tibial runoff is critical for wound healing and determines treatment options.
For patients with prior bypass grafts or stents, duplex monitors for restenosis — recurrent narrowing that can develop within months to years.
Why BlackPoint
Lewiston residents have limited options for arterial duplex imaging without entering the hospital system. The nearest hospital-based labs are at Central Maine Medical Center — both requiring a physician referral, insurance pre-authorization, and often a multi-week wait for scheduling.
BlackPoint is different. You book directly — no referral, no insurance friction. Our sonographer, Emanuel Papadakis, RDCS, RVT, performs every scan personally with twenty years of cardiovascular imaging experience. He arrives at your home in Lewiston with a Mindray diagnostic ultrasound system — the same platform used in accredited hospital labs — and performs a comprehensive peripheral arterial duplex in approximately 30 minutes.
Every study is reviewed by a board-certified cardiologist who delivers a written clinical report in plain language within 24–48 hours. The cost is $397 flat — no surprise bills, no facility charges, no insurance games. HSA and FSA accepted.
How It Works
Choose your scan and pick a time. No physician referral needed. Same-week appointments typically available for Lewiston.
Emanuel, RDCS, RVT, arrives with a Mindray diagnostic ultrasound system. The scan takes approximately 30 minutes and is completely painless — no needles, no radiation, no preparation required.
A board-certified cardiologist reviews your images and delivers a detailed, plain-language report. Clear findings, clear next steps.
Is This Scan Right For You?
You do not need to be symptomatic to benefit from an arterial duplex. PAD develops gradually and is frequently missed. Consider scheduling if any of the following apply to you:

BlackPoint Diagnostics offers mobile peripheral arterial ultrasound throughout Lewiston and Southern Maine. We come to your home, workplace, or a partner location — no hospital visit or referral needed. Book online or call (207) 409-7797.
$397 flat — all-inclusive. No hidden fees. Results are reviewed by a board-certified cardiologist within 24–48 hours and delivered as a written report.
No referral is needed. BlackPoint Diagnostics accepts self-pay patients directly. If you have concerns about leg pain or circulation issues, you can book your screening without waiting for a physician referral.
The most common symptom is claudication — pain or cramping in the legs that occurs with walking and disappears with rest. Other signs include numbness, cold feet, non-healing wounds on the legs or feet, and skin color changes. Many people with PAD have no symptoms at all, which is why screening is important for those with risk factors.
A peripheral arterial duplex ultrasound uses sound waves to measure blood flow and pressure in the arteries of the legs. The test includes ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurements and Doppler waveform analysis to identify areas of narrowing or blockage. It is non-invasive, painless, and takes approximately 45–60 minutes.
Fully mobile to Lewiston and Androscoggin County. No referral. $397 per scan, all-inclusive. Cardiologist-reviewed results in 24–48 hours.
