Non-Invasive Peripheral Vascular Studies
As part of our commitment to provide the highest quality vascular care, we offer a full-service, minimally- invasive vascular imaging lab.
The Vascular Laboratory's purpose is to serve health care providers and their patients by utilizing advanced, noninvasive imaging and ensuring high quality results. The ultrasound examinations are performed by clinically skilled Registered Vascular Technologists with specialized training. The imaging studies are interpreted by highly trained, board certified diagnostic and interventional radiologists.
The vascular system is the network of blood vessels that circulate blood to and from the heart and lungs. Vascular diseases are very common and increase with age. Untreated vascular disease can have serious health consequences, including amputation, heart attack, and stroke.
