VASCULAR TESTING helps diagnose disorders of the arteries and veins in the legs, arms, neck and head. These tests utilize non-invasive ultrasonic and imaging technologies that measure blood flow in your arteries and veins. They are called non-invasive because no dyes, x-rays or needles are used to perform them.
Vascular diagnostics are able to accurately document the presence, location and severity of vascular disease, specifically occlusion. These studies can help prevent life threatening conditions, such as stroke, through early detection.
VASCULAR STUDIES ARE PERFORMED THROUGH computerized monitoring of your blood pressure in multiple locations while simultaneously utilizing ultrasonic technology to gauge your blood flow. The tests are completely painless, although you may feel some pressure while your blood pressures are being monitored.
