Leg Artery Ultrasound, Limited Or One-Sided

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 93926

This ultrasound exam uses sound waves and color imaging to evaluate blood flow through the arteries of one leg, or a limited portion of the vessels in the legs, rather than a complete evaluation of both legs. It helps detect narrowing or blockages that can reduce blood flow to the leg, often due to peripheral artery disease. It is a non-invasive, painless test performed with a probe moved along the skin over the leg.
