Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasounds provide pictures of the body's veins and arteries.
Vascular ultrasound is performed to:
- help monitor the blood flow to organs and tissues throughout the body.
- locate and identify blockages (stenosis) and abnormalities like plaque or emboli and help plan for their effective treatment.
- detect blood clots (deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the legs or arms.
- determine whether a patient is a good candidate for a procedure such as angioplasty.
- evaluate the success of procedures that graft or bypass blood vessels.
- determine if there is an enlarged artery (aneurysm).
- determine the source and severity of varicose veins.
These studies are available every other Wednesday and every Friday at Valley County Health System through a mobile unit provided by BryanLGH.
