Noninvasive Testing:
-
Venous Reflux Study
Assesses the flow of blood in the veins to detect any abnormal reflux or backflow. -
Venous Doppler
Uses ultrasound to evaluate the blood flow and detect blockages or abnormalities in the veins. -
Iliac-Vein Scan
Focuses on the veins in the pelvis to identify issues such as venous obstruction or reflux.
Arterial Studies:
-
PVR/Arterial (Pulse Volume Recording)
Measures changes in blood volume in the arteries to assess circulation and detect peripheral artery disease. -
Upper Arterial Study
Evaluates the blood flow in the upper extremities, detecting blockages or narrowing in the arteries. -
Mesenteric Artery Study
Focuses on the arteries supplying blood to the intestines, assessing for conditions like mesenteric ischemia.
Abdominal & Renal Studies:
-
AAA (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm)
Detects any enlargement or bulging of the abdominal aorta, which can be life-threatening if ruptured. -
Aorto-Iliac Study
Examines the aorta and iliac arteries for signs of blockage, narrowing, or other vascular issues. -
Renal Study
Evaluates blood flow to the kidneys to detect any conditions like renal artery stenosis that may affect kidney function.
Carotid Study:
-
Carotid Study
Assesses the carotid arteries in the neck to detect plaque buildup or narrowing that may increase the risk of stroke.
