Testing and Diagnosis
Since time is of the essence in diagnosing and managing vascular problems, we offer a complete, state-of-the-art vascular testing lab to assess each patient’s individual needs. Our testing modalities include noninvasive options, including ultrasound (Doppler) studies, computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These studies are not only helpful in diagnosing existing vascular problems, but often they can provide information helpful in preventing life-threatening conditions, like stroke and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
