Expert Vascular Sonographer
Performed by an experienced vascular ultrasound specialist with advanced expertise in Doppler duplex imaging of the venous system.
DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan in London for urgent private assessment of suspected deep vein thrombosis, leg swelling, calf pain, venous clot symptoms and vascular circulation concerns.
A private DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan at London Private Ultrasound provides same-day assessment for suspected deep vein thrombosis in one or both limbs. This safe, non-invasive vascular ultrasound checks blood flow in the deep and superficial veins, with prices from £249 for one limb and £449 for both limbs. No GP referral is required.
A private DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan, also called duplex ultrasound or complete Doppler ultrasound, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses high-frequency sound waves and Doppler technology to produce real-time images of blood flow in the deep and superficial veins of the legs or arms.
A DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan is commonly requested when a patient has one-sided calf pain, leg swelling, redness, warmth, heaviness, recent travel, recent surgery, immobility, previous DVT, or other clotting risk factors. The scan helps confirm or exclude a venous clot quickly so that urgent treatment can be arranged if needed.
At London Private Ultrasound, each DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan is performed by experienced vascular sonographers using advanced Doppler imaging equipment, with same-day verbal results and no GP referral required. Urgent same-day appointments are available for suspected DVT.
We offer a one-limb DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan from £249 and a both-limbs DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan for £449, depending on your symptoms and risk factors.
Book a DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan urgently if you have unexplained swelling, pain, redness or warmth in one limb. The scan assesses blood flow, clot location, clot extent and other venous or soft tissue causes of limb symptoms.
All assessments are performed by experienced vascular ultrasound specialists. A private DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan is suitable for patients who need fast assessment without waiting for a GP referral.
Book DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan OnlineBoth scan options use the same expert Doppler technique. Choose the one-limb DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan for symptoms affecting one limb, or the both-limbs option for bilateral symptoms or higher clotting risk.
Ideal when you have symptoms in one limb only, such as pain, swelling, redness, warmth or heaviness in one leg or arm.
Recommended for bilateral symptoms, high-risk clotting factors, post-surgical symptoms, prolonged immobility, or clinical need for complete venous mapping.

Answers written for patients considering a private DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan in London.
A DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan uses ultrasound and Doppler technology to assess blood flow in the veins. It is used to detect or exclude deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg.
It is non-invasive, radiation-free and does not require fasting or injections.
At London Private Ultrasound, a private DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan costs £249 for one limb and £449 for both limbs. Both options include Doppler assessment, verbal results and a written report.
One-limb scan is suitable if symptoms are limited to one leg or arm. Both-limbs scan is more suitable for bilateral symptoms, recent surgery, prolonged immobility, previous DVT, known clotting disorder, cancer history, or clinical need for complete venous mapping.
Common DVT symptoms include calf or thigh pain, one-sided swelling, warmth, redness, darkened skin, heavy aching, or tenderness along the limb. If symptoms are combined with chest pain, sudden shortness of breath or coughing blood, call 999 immediately.
No. You do not need a GP referral. You can self-refer and book directly online or call 020 7101 3377 for urgent same-day availability.
No. A DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan is painless and safe. A water-based gel is applied to the skin and the probe is moved over the limb to assess the veins.
If DVT is identified, the findings are explained immediately. You receive an urgent written report or referral letter so that you can attend your GP or A&E for treatment, usually anticoagulation.
