Vascular Imaging
If your provider suspects vascular disease, they may order non-invasive vascular testing. This type of imaging involves various tests that measure blood flow in your arteries and veins without the use of needles. Registered Vascular Technologists (RVTs), who have specialized training in these procedures, use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to assess the presence, location and severity of vascular disease.
Vascular testing:
- Ankle-brachial index (ABI)
- Ankle-brachial index (ABI) with exercise (treadmill)
- Aortoiliac duplex
- Aortoiliac duplex for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
- Arterial duplex-lower extremity
- Arterial duplex-upper extremity
- Arteriovenous (AV) fistula duplex
- Bypass graft duplex
- Carotid duplex
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Mesenteric/celiac/renal artery stenosis
- Pulse volume recordings (PVRs)
- Segmental Pressures
- Venous reflux (insufficiency)
- Venous mapping
