About Camperdown Vascular Laboratory
The Camperdown Vascular Laboratory provides a comprehensive non-invasive vascular diagnostic service using state-of-the-art colour duplex ultrasound technology. The Laboratory has been in continuous practice since 1983 and our staff are recognised as national leaders in non-invasive methods of vascular diagnosis.
The Camperdown Vascular Laboratory performs non-invasive testing, as the name implies, allowing patients to be examined using Doppler ultrasound techniques free of the risks and discomforts of injections and/or other invasive maneuvers.
These tests allow diagnosis of almost all known or suspected vascular disorders and testing can often determine the severity of the problems and the need for treatment. We use state of the art equipment and our team are dedicated specialists.
