Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory
Our non-invasive vascular laboratories perform
studies aimed at diagnosing vascular disease.
Most studies utilize ultrasound to evaluate arteries
or veins for disease. Pressures may also be measured
in the extremities to check for an artery blockage.
This study avoids the need for invasive testing
in many cases. For your added convenience, studies
in our laboratory can be performed on the same
day as physician evaluations.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
An MRA is a noninvasive study, which is used to
evaulate arteries and veins in the body without
the use of X-ray contrast. A magnetic resonance
angiography is an image of the blood vessels,
depicting where blockages exist. This study provides
doctors with a roadmap for any necessary further
interventions.
