Cardiovascular Imaging
Arterial Doppler (upper and lower extremities) ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate the arterial blood flow to the upper extremities (arms) and lower extremities (legs).
Carotid Doppler, also known as carotid ultrasound, is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to detect narrowing of your arteries or potential blockages caused by plaque.
CTA (Computed Tomography Angiography) is a computed tomography technique used to visualize arterial and venous vessels throughout the body.
Echocardiogram and Pediatric Echocardiogram is an ultrasound study that visualizes internal structures and blood flow of the heart.
Holter/Event monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart’s activity (ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hours or longer depending on the type of monitoring used.
MRA is a is a noninvasive test that is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing), occlusions, aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture) or other abnormalities.
Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) is a noninvasive test used to generate images of veins of the head.
A Multigated Acquisition (MUGA) scan is a type of Nuclear Medicine Scan used to take pictures of the blood flow through your heart. A MUGA scan is an outpatient imaging test that looks at how well the bottom chambers of your heart (ventricles) are pumping blood out into your body.
Pre-operative Vein mapping Ultrasound is used to determine Dialysis grafts placement , creation of Arteriovenous fistula or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).
During Nuclear Stress testing, the patient receives a radiopharmaceutical that shows blood flow through the coronary arteries. The patient will then walk on the treadmill or receive a chemical stress that will simulate exercise. This is a comparison study; if there is a change seen from a first set of images, to the second set of images, a blockage may be indicated.
A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps a doctor find out how well your heart handles work.
Venous Doppler (upper and lower extremities) for DVT and Reflux is a diagnostic test used to check the circulation in the large veins in the legs (or sometimes the arms). This exam shows any blockage in the veins by a blood clot or thrombus formation or reflux of blood flow due to faulty valves or venous disease.
