No, vascular ultrasound is completely non-invasive meaning no needles, dyes, radiation or anesthesia. At The Vascular Lab, we take patient comfort very seriously. To help with this we provide state-of-the-art vascular ultrasound beds that can be moved into various positions to help ensure you’re comfortable at all times, particularly when scanning varicose veins.

If your scan meets Medicare criteria, we will bulk bill you. This means no out of pocket cost. If your scan does not meet Medicare criteria, then we will provide you with a quote at the time of your appointment.
