A renal artery duplex ultrasound at your Westbrook home — approximately 10 minutes from our South Portland base. Evaluates blood flow to the kidneys for renovascular hypertension and renal artery stenosis. $397 flat in Falmouth, no referral, cardiologist-reviewed results in 24–48 hours.
Clinical Indications
Renal artery stenosis — narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys — is one of the most common correctable causes of resistant hypertension. If your blood pressure remains elevated despite two or three medications, or if your physician suspects a renovascular cause, a renal artery duplex is a non-invasive first-line imaging study.
The duplex evaluates peak systolic velocity and renal-to-aortic velocity ratios in both renal arteries, detects turbulent flow indicating hemodynamically significant stenosis, and assesses kidney size and parenchymal architecture. This is a clinically dense study that provides the cardiologist and nephrologist with actionable data — including whether the stenosis is severe enough to consider revascularization.
Emanuel Papadakis, RDCS, RVT, performs every scan with over twenty years of vascular imaging experience. Falmouth imaging center directly to your Westbrook home (04092) — $397 flat, no referral, HSA and FSA accepted.
