NOT Included - Medical prescription
In Spain, a medical prescription is required for any diagnostic test. If you do not have one, you will need to see a specialist beforehand to obtain one.
Below, we explain the process step by step, whether you have it or not:
If you have a medical prescription
- Purchase the test as normal.
- Immediately afterwards, we will send you the instructions for you to send us the medical prescription to the e-mail address you used to make the purchase, so that we can manage the appointment.
- With the medical prescription we will be able to check that the diagnostic test purchased corresponds to the one indicated by the specialist.
- We will arrange your appointment with a date and time so that you can go to the hospital of your choice to undergo the test.
You do not have a medical prescription
If you do not have a medical prescription, Operarme will arrange a consultation with one of our specialists at a preferential price (subject to availability in the area). Contact us for more information.
During the consultation you will be able to inform the doctor about the test you need. He/she may ask you for a report in relation to your medical problem, if the test you need to have requires it.
If you do not have a prescription or report associated with the reason for the diagnostic test, it is likely that you will be referred to a face-to-face consultation. If this is your case, contact us for advice on how to proceed.
Remember: on the day of the test you must bring and show the Operarme voucher and the medical prescription.

All about Arterial Doppler Ultrasound in Alicante
If you have a prescription and need to have an Arterial Doppler Ultrasound in Alicante, through Operarme you can purchase the service only for 99 € and diagnose any possible anomalies you may have in different parts of the body, especially in the blood vessels of the neck, abdomen, legs and arms, so your doctor can recommend the best treatment for you.
What should you take into account before purchasing this type of ultrasound?
If you need an arterial doppler ultrasound, first you must have a medical prescription from your doctor or specialist.
In the event that you don’t have one but are interested in having an arterial doppler ultrasound, you can first purchase and attend a private consultation with one of our specialists in Alicante and tell the doctor about the symptoms you have; if the doctor considers an ultrasound is necessary, he/she will hand you a prescription for the test.
Once you’ve purchased the arterial doppler ultrasound, you will automatically receive an email with your medical voucher, information regarding the service and the hospital, and also an invoice of the test purchased.
Right after, you have to call the selected hospital/clinic’s contact number (indicated in the voucher), and request an appointment to take the test.
On the day of the appointment, you will need to take the prescription with you. If you attend without a prescription, it’s likely that the hospital staff may refer you to a private consultation first. This consultation is not included in the price of the doppler ultrasound you purchase on Operarme’s website and it is possible that the cost of the consultation at the hospital is higher than the preferential price published on our website for Operarme patients.
If you need another type of test, you can consult our diagnostic tests section and choose the one that best suits your needs (mammary ultrasound, urological ultrasound, gynaecological ultrasound, MRI, X-rays, etc).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Patient Service Team on +34 91 141 33 56 , or leave a contact form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

How is an arterial doppler ultrasound performed?
When you arrive at the clinic/hospital in Alicante, you will be welcomed by the radiologist who will perform the test and will give you a series of instructions for the arterial doppler ultrasound.
These are the steps of the performance of a doppler ultrasound in the upper or lower limbs area:
- First, you will lie in a stretcher or you will take a sit, depending on the limb to be examined. The technician will give you instructions on how to position the limb to get the best images and access areas of interest.
- Before going ahead with the exploration, the technician will apply a transparent gel in the area to be examined. This gel helps the ultrasound waves to be transmitted easily between the skin and the transducer, making it easier to obtain clear images.
- Next, the technician will slide the transducer over the gel in the area being evaluated.
- As the technician moves the transducer, real-time images can be viewed on a monitor. These images show the anatomical structures, such as the arteries, veins and surrounding tissues, and also the blood flow.
- During the exploration, the technician will use the doppler method to assess the state of the blood flow in real-time. This technique provides visualisation of the direction and velocity of blood flow in arteries or veins by means of colour or numerical measurements.
- In some cases, the specialist may ask you to perform certain movements or positions to evaluate blood flow in different conditions.
Once the scan is completed, a radiologist or ultrasound specialist will interpret the images and the results obtained. A diagnostic report will be prepared and given to the requesting doctor, who will use this information for diagnosis and treatment planning, if necessary.
An arterial doppler ultrasound can take between 30-60 minutes, depending on the extent of the study and the complexity of the clinical situation.

Frequent Questions
-
Are the ultrasound waves from an ultrasound scan dangerous?
No, the waves used in an ultrasound scan are not considered hazardous to health. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves, also known as ultrasound.
Ultrasound does not produce ionising radiation, like x-rays, so there is no risk of radiation exposure during an Arterial Doppler Ultrasound. In addition, the ultrasound waves used in ultrasound have a very low intensity and are focused on a specific area of the body, which further reduces any possible harmful effects.
Ultrasound has been widely used for decades and has not been shown to have significant adverse health effects on either the patients or the health professionals performing the test. It is a safe and non-invasive technique that is routinely used in medical diagnosis, especially during pregnancy for obstetric ultrasound.
However, it is important to note that, as with any medical procedure, ultrasound should be used appropriately and justified by a physician or health professional. Clinical guidelines and recommendations should be followed to ensure safe and effective use of this diagnostic technique.
