Accurate, Mobile, and Non-Invasive Arterial Testing
EZ Diagnostic Imaging Services offers mobile Lower Extremity Arterial Ultrasound (LEA) to help diagnose and monitor circulation issues in the legs. Our advanced ultrasound technology allows for precise, non-invasive assessment of blood flow, ensuring early detection and effective management of arterial diseases.
What is a Lower Extremity Arterial Ultrasound (LEA)?
A Lower Extremity Arterial Ultrasound (LEA) is a non-invasive test that uses ultrasound technology to evaluate blood flow in the arteries of the legs. It helps detect:
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
- Arterial blockages or narrowing (stenosis)
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or arterial embolism)
- Poor circulation leading to leg pain, ulcers, or discoloration
- Aneurysms (abnormal bulging of artery walls)
This test is crucial for individuals experiencing symptoms such as leg pain, cramping, numbness, or wounds that do not heal properly.
How Does Lower Extremity Arterial Ultrasound Work?
The procedure involves the use of Doppler ultrasound technology, which measures blood flow through the arteries. It works as follows:
- Step 1: A conductive gel is applied to the legs to enhance sound wave transmission.
- Step 2: A transducer (handheld device) is moved along the arteries to capture real-time images.
- Step 3: Doppler signals assess the speed and direction of blood flow.
- Step 4: The results help identify any arterial blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities.
This test is painless, non-invasive, and typically takes 30-45 minutes to complete.

- Improved Circulatory Health: Helps prevent serious complications like ulcers or amputation.
- Ideal for High-Risk Patients: Beneficial for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of smoking.
How LEA Ultrasound is Helpful
This diagnostic test is essential for individuals at risk of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), which can lead to:
- Reduced blood flow to the legs, causing pain and fatigue
- Increased risk of blood clots and vascular complications
- Higher chance of leg ulcers and non-healing wounds
- Possible need for surgical intervention if untreated
Regular screening with LEA ultrasound helps in early detection, effective management, and improved long-term outcomes for vascular health.
