Ultrasound generally considered very safe and often painless without side effects. Also, do not use ionizing radiation. So physicians are able to determine a faster treatment care for you to alleviate or prevent health issues, which improves a patient’s health and quality of life, and potentially save patient’s to go to the emergency health care in the future or saving them life.
-ECHOCARDIOGRAM
Heart Disease or Anomalies: Asses the anatomy and function (valve function, wall motion, blood flow, and other abnormal pathology) of the heart to detect conditions have no symptoms or disease. Coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis (plaque builds up in the arteries) is the leading cause of heart attacks.
–VASCULAR
•Carotid Artery Disease: Plaque builds up (atherosclerosis) in the Carotid arteries and is the leading cause of stroke.
•Transcranial Doppler (TCD): Detect patients developing cerebral vasculopathy for the prevention of chronic complications. TCD is used for intracranial diseases such as dysplasia, subarachnoid hemorrhage (vaso- spasm) and other intracranial vasculitis and vasculopathies: Sickle cell anemia, Cerebral microembolism, Ocular ischemia, Takayasu arteritis, Giant cells arteritis, Moyamoya disease, Williams-Beuren Syndrome.
•Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Hardening of the arteries is caused by atherosclerosis.
• Ankle brachial index (ABI): Detect peripheral arterial disease is another method of exam performed to predict the presence of peripheral arterial disease. This test is performed utilizing Doppler and cuff blood pressures in the arms and ankles.
• Peripheral Venous Disease: Detect blood clots and venous insufficiency
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): Enlarger and thins of the largest blood vessel in the body (Aorta).
• Aorta and Mesenteric Ischemia: Evaluation for obstruction or poor circulation of blow flow to the visceral organs such as stomach, liver, intestine and colon.
• Renal Artery Doppler: Asses for kidney hypertension, cysts, tumors, obstructions.
