• ​​*Cerebro vascular (carotid) duplex: Utilizes duplex ultrasonography (image plus doppler) to detect and/or monitor the carotid, vertebral, and subclavian arteries to determine the severity and location of occlusive disease that potentially may lead to stroke. Transcranial doppler to evaluate intracranial circulation is also available.
• Peripheral arterial duplex: Utilizes duplex ultrasound in conjunction with ABI's to detect and quantify peripheral arterial disease in native arteries and bypass grafts, such as stenosis (blockage), pseudo aneurysm, aneurysm, and fistula grafts. Toe pressures to determine distal foot perfusion may also be obtained.
• Peripheral Venous Duplex: Used to evaluate the upper or lower extremity veins when pain or swelling is present to rule out deep venous thrombosis​, a potentially life threatening condition. Preliminary and/or final results will be provided immediately following the exam to the referring provider. No patient preparation is needed. This exam will often be performed on the same day as requested. A lower extremity venous reflux exam is another exam performed to rule out venous valvular insufficiency.
• Abdominal duplex exam: Includes aortoiliac duplex exams for AAA or stenosis, renal and artery duplex for renal artery stenosis suspected as a cause for hypertension, and mesentric artery duplex for suspected mesentric ischemia. Abdominal exams require the patients to be NPO (fasting) for eight hours prior to the exam with a light meal the night prior to the exam. These exams are, therefore, usually scheduled in the morning. Water and medication may be taken as needed prior to the exam.
