ARTERIAL ULTRASOUND
An Arterial Duplex Ultrasound uses sound waves to create a color map of the arteries in your leg(s)/arm(s).
The exam is also used to identify narrowing of your vessels that may be causing leg/arm pain when walking, resting leg pain, foot, ankle, heel or toe ulcers, or skin discoloration.
VENOUS DOPPLER
A Venous Doppler is an ultrasound exam of the veins located in your arms and legs.
High frequency sound waves are used to obtain images of structures inside the body. Ultrasound imaging can help the radiologist see and evaluate blockages in blood flow, such as clots in veins.
CAROTID DUPLEX
Carotid duplex is an ultrasound test that shows how well blood is flowing through the carotid arteries.
The carotid arteries are in the neck. They supply blood directly to the brain.
ECHOCARDIOGRAM
An echocardiogram (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses high-pitched sound waves that are sent through a device called a transducer.
The device picks up echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off the different parts of your heart.
ABDOMINAL AORTA ANUERYSM
An Abdominal Aorta Ultrasound is performed to evaluate abdominal structures, including the abdominal aorta. It may be used to check for several conditions.
An abdominal ultrasound to screen for an abdominal aortic aneurysm is recommended for men ages 65 to 75 who are current or former cigarette smokers.
RENAL DUPLEX
The Renal Artery Duplex scan is a sonogram or ultrasound using sound waves to visualize the renal arteries.
The renal arteries feed the kidneys with oxygen rich blood. By checking these vessels, we can see if there is any blockage or narrowing.
ANKLE BRACHIAL INDEX (ABI)
The Ankle-Brachial Index test is a quick, noninvasive way to check your risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD).
The ankle-brachial index test compares your blood pressure measured at your ankle with your blood pressure measured at your arm. A low ankle-brachial index number can indicate narrowing or blockage of the arteries in your legs, increasing your risk of circulatory problems, and possibly causing heart disease or stroke.
