Vascular ultrasound is a noninvasive test healthcare providers use to determine how blood flows in arteries and veins in your arms, neck and legs. They use this test to diagnose blood clots, narrowed blood vessels, and other vascular health conditions.

2019年6月24日 · During a vascular screening, a few different tests are performed to check the health of your blood vessels. Blocked carotid arteries increase your risk of stroke. A carotid artery ultrasound checks those important arteries in your neck and estimates the amount of blockage or narrowing in them.

Vascular studies use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow in your blood vessels. A small handheld probe (transducer) is pressed against your skin. The sound waves move through your skin and other body tissues to the blood vessels.

2019年1月31日 · What is a Vascular Ultrasound? Vascular Ultrasound is a non invasive (safe, well tolerated) medical test used to check the arteries and veins in the body. Artery and vein problems include narrow areas, blockages, dilated areas (aneurysms) and abnormal connections.

2024年1月2日 · A vascular ultrasound is an advanced imaging technique medical professionals use to assess blood flow in the veins and arteries. These scans help diagnose blood clots, blockages, and other common vascular diseases.

In the Vascular Lab, ultrasound is used to specifically look for circulation (blood flow) problems throughout the body. Below you will find information about what blood vessels and what parts of the body we evaluate, as well as what kind of problems we might be looking for.

An ultrasound is a noninvasive, painless way for your doctor to properly diagnose vascular problems — and to make appropriate treatment recommendations. If you’d like to learn more about vascular studies, or you need to schedule your vascular ultrasound, we’re happy to help.

2022年7月25日 · Arterial and venous mapping, also called vascular ultrasound or vein mapping, is an imaging test of your blood vessels that assesses your blood flow.

Duplex ultrasound is a non-invasive evaluation of blood flow through your arteries and veins. This test provides information to help your vascular surgeon make a sound diagnosis and outline a treatment plan. Accuracy is critical, so ultrasound testing should ALWAYS be performed by a credentialed sonographer in an accredited vascular laboratory.
