Vascular and Cardiac Imaging

These exams are crucial for evaluating blood flow and heart health.

  • Carotid Doppler: Examines the carotid arteries in the neck to assess blood flow and check for blockages or narrowing.
  • Echocardiogram: Provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function, including its chambers, valves, and blood flow.
  • Abdominal Aorta: Screens for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by measuring the aorta’s diameter.
  • Lower Extremity Arterial Doppler: Assesses blood flow in the leg arteries to diagnose conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD).
  • Upper Extremity Arterial Doppler: Evaluates blood flow in the arm arteries.
  • Upper Extremity Venous Doppler: Checks for blood clots (DVT) in the veins of the arms.
  • Lower Extremity Venous Doppler: A key test for diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The Reflux Exam specifically checks for venous insufficiency, which can cause varicose veins and other symptoms.
  • Ankle Brachial Index (ABI): A quick, non-invasive test that compares blood pressure in the ankles and arms to screen for PAD.

[/vc_column_text][vcex_divider align=”left” color=”palette-3769″ width=”50%” margin=”bottom:10″][vc_column_text css=””]These services cover a wide range of diagnostic needs throughout the body.

  • Thyroid: Examines the thyroid gland for nodules, cysts, or other abnormalities.
  • Abdominal (Complete) & RUQ (Right Upper Quadrant): A comprehensive scan of the abdominal organs, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys.
  • r/o Hernia: Ultrasound can be used to check for hernias by examining the abdominal wall.
  • Pelvic:
    • Transabdominal: Provides a general overview of the pelvic organs
    • Transvaginal: Offers more detailed images of the uterus and ovaries.
  • Ovarian Disease: Focuses specifically on diagnosing conditions affecting the ovaries, such as cysts or masses.
  • Scrotal Doppler: Evaluates the testicles and surrounding tissues, assessing blood flow and diagnosing conditions like testicular torsion or epididymitis.
  • Soft Tissue/Musculoskeletal: Used to visualize muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues to diagnose issues like tears, fluid collections, or masses.
