Cardiovascular Center
Vascular Diagnostic Lab
The Vascular Diagnostic Laboratory is a full-service clinical diagnostic center that provides access to sophisticated, modern ultrasound imaging equipment for noninvasive extracranial (cerebrovascular), venous and arterial vascular procedures available.
Non-invasive testing or procedures means that the patient’s body is not entered by a needle, tube, device, or scope and does not require the use of dyes, radiation or anesthesia. Painless ultrasound is used to look directly inside the veins or arteries to check for plaque or thrombus. Risks of complications are quite small with non-invasive testing.
The procedures we perform in our Vascular Diagnostic Laboratory help physicians make a timely clinical diagnosis regarding venous or arterial circulatory conditions and aid them in determining any need for more invasive procedures. We provide the highest accuracy possible with state-of-the-art technology.
