VASCULAR:
Carotid studies include views of the carotid, vertebral and subclavian arteries with color flow imaging and Doppler analysis. This study is clinically useful when patients exhibit symptoms of syncope, transient ischemic attacks or dizziness. It is also beneficial in the evaluation of plaque formation and stenotic lesions.
Arterial scans use color, wave form analysis, and segmental pressure to evaluate circulation of the extremities. Most arterial studies are indicated when patients present with severe leg pain, claudication (exercise induced pain) or ulcerations.
Venous scans include a thorough study of the deep veins in the legs and arms which are performed to rule out the presence of deep vein thrombosis (clots). By using compression, Doppler and color flow, this study effectively pinpoints areas of thrombus. The determination of deep vein thrombosis and the timely treatment can often prevent a life threatening situation from developing. This study is most often indicated for severe leg pain and swelling.
SMALL PARTS:
The evaluation of specific parts of the body such as testicles, thyroid, breasts, popliteal fossa, and others. This study is generally indicated when suspicious nodules are found.
