About the Scan
What is a DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan?
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.

Common Questions
DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan Frequently Asked Questions
Answers written for patients considering a private DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan in London.
What is a DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan?
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.
How much does a DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan cost in London?
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.
Should I get a one-limb or two-limb DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan?
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.
What are the symptoms of DVT in the leg?
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.
Do I need a GP referral for a private DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan?
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.
Is a DVT Doppler Ultrasound Scan painful?
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.
What happens if DVT is found?
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.
Where can I read more about DVT?
Trusted external information is available from the NHS deep vein thrombosis guide and NICE guidance on deep vein thrombosis.
