Artery Ultrasound Evaluation: Exploring the Health of Your Carotid, Aorta, and Femoral Arteries.
At our practice, we are dedicated to taking care of your vascular health with the utmost precision. That is why we have incorporated a specialized ultrasound evaluation service focused on key arteries: the carotid, aorta, and femoral arteries.
What is artery ultrasound evaluation?
Vascular ultrasound is a noninvasive technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your arteries. It allows us to examine the blood flow and structure of the carotid, aorta, and femoral arteries, which are essential for detecting and preventing vascular diseases.
- Carotid arteries: These arteries, located in the neck, are crucial for supplying blood to the brain. Ultrasound helps us identify narrowing or plaques that could increase the risk of stroke.
- Abdominal aorta: The aorta is the main artery in the body. Assessing their integrity is vital to detect aneurysms or dilations that could compromise your health.
- Femoral arteries: Located in the legs, these arteries are essential for circulation in the lower extremities. Ultrasound can identify obstructions that could cause problems such as intermittent claudication.
What can you expect from the procedure?
Comfort and effectiveness: The exam is quick, painless, and requires no prior preparation. You can continue with your daily activities afterward.
Diagnostic accuracy: The images obtained provide us with detailed information to assess your vascular health and make informed decisions.
This service is especially indicated if you have cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoke or a family history of vascular diseases.
