Vascular Screening at Home — Not a Hospital Lab

When your doctor says "you need a vascular ultrasound," the next step is usually a referral to a hospital vascular lab, a wait measured in weeks, and a half-day commitment for a 30-minute scan. BlackPoint Diagnostics brings that same diagnostic-quality vascular ultrasound to your home in Southern Maine — same week, no referral needed, $397 per study. Your report comes back from a board-certified cardiologist. You never leave the house.

TWO STUDIES, ONE VISIT

"Vascular ultrasound" covers two distinct exams — venous duplex (veins) and arterial duplex (arteries). Need both? The Comprehensive Vascular Package bundles them at a reduced rate.

Two Types of Vascular Ultrasound — Different Questions, Different Vessels

Most people searching "vascular ultrasound near me" need one or both of these. Each targets a different part of your circulation.

Venous Duplex

Checks Your Veins

Evaluates blood flow in the leg veins. Detects deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous insufficiency, and valve dysfunction that causes swelling, heaviness, or varicose veins.

Common reasons:

  • Leg swelling — one or both legs
  • Suspected blood clot after travel or surgery
  • Varicose veins or chronic heaviness
  • Post-DVT follow-up

Arterial Duplex

Checks Your Arteries

Evaluates blood flow in the leg arteries. Detects peripheral arterial disease (PAD), stenosis, and blockages that reduce circulation to your feet and lower legs.

Common reasons:

  • Leg pain when walking that stops at rest
  • Cold feet or pale toes
  • Non-healing wounds on the lower legs
  • Diabetes with circulation concerns

Not sure which one you need? Call (207) 409-7797 or use our Which Scan Do I Need? guide. If your symptoms involve both veins and arteries, the Comprehensive Vascular Package covers both studies in a single home visit.

Who Should Get a Vascular Ultrasound

Vascular disease is often silent until it isn't. These are the groups who benefit most from screening.

Diabetic Patients

Diabetes accelerates both arterial disease and venous complications. Vascular screening establishes a baseline and catches problems before wounds or amputations.

Smokers & Former Smokers

Smoking is the strongest risk factor for peripheral arterial disease. Even after quitting, the damage to arterial walls persists and warrants screening.

Leg Pain When Walking

Claudication — leg pain that comes on with walking and goes away with rest — is the classic symptom of PAD. An arterial duplex confirms or rules it out in one visit.

Leg Swelling or DVT History

Unexplained leg swelling, prior blood clots, or post-surgical DVT risk all warrant venous duplex screening. Early detection prevents progression to pulmonary embolism.

Post-Surgical Follow-Up

After vascular surgery, bypass, or stent placement, follow-up imaging monitors graft patency and recurrent disease. A home visit avoids the clinic trip during recovery.

Adults Over 65

Age alone increases the risk of both PAD and DVT. A baseline vascular screening establishes your circulation status and gives your physician actionable data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vascular ultrasound?

A vascular ultrasound uses sound waves and Doppler to evaluate blood flow in your veins and arteries. It includes two types of studies: a venous duplex (checks for blood clots, valve dysfunction, and venous insufficiency in the legs) and an arterial duplex (checks for blockages, narrowing, and reduced blood flow in the leg arteries). Both are non-invasive, painless, and take approximately 30–45 minutes each.

Do I need a referral for a vascular ultrasound in Maine?

No. BlackPoint Diagnostics is a direct-access service. You book online or by phone — no physician referral or insurance pre-authorization required. We come to your home in Southern Maine. A board-certified cardiologist reviews every study and delivers the formal written report.

How much does a vascular ultrasound cost?

Each study is $397 flat — all-inclusive. That covers the scan, the cardiologist interpretation, and the written report. No facility fees, no hidden charges. If you need both venous and arterial studies, the Comprehensive Vascular Package bundles them at a reduced rate. HSA and FSA funds are typically accepted for diagnostic imaging.

What is the difference between venous and arterial ultrasound?

A venous duplex evaluates the veins — checking for blood clots (DVT), valve dysfunction, and chronic venous insufficiency that causes swelling or varicose veins. An arterial duplex evaluates the arteries — checking for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), blockages, and reduced blood flow that causes leg pain when walking. Different conditions, different vessels, different clinical questions. Your symptoms determine which study you need.

What areas of Maine do you serve?
