Arterial Ultrasound

Peripheral arterial disease affects millions of adults, particularly those over 50 with risk factors like diabetes or tobacco use. Our arterial ultrasound evaluates blood flow through the upper and lower extremities to detect plaque buildup, narrowing, or blockages before they progress to serious complications. The exam is completely noninvasive and typically completed within 30 minutes.

Common Indications

  • Leg or Arm Pain During Activity
  • Pain at Rest in the Extremities
  • History of Diabetes

  • Popliteal Aneurysm
  • Baker’s Cyst
  • Vascular Insufficiency

Carotid Ultrasound

Carotid ultrasound is the primary screening tool for evaluating the arteries that supply blood to the brain. Given that cardiovascular disease and stroke remain among the top causes of death in the U.S., early detection of arterial narrowing is critical. This quick, in-office exam takes roughly 30 minutes and is recommended for patients with key risk factors such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or a family history of vascular disease.

Common Indications

  • Episodes of Slurred Speech
  • Temporary Vision Loss
  • Unexplained Dizziness or Vertigo
  • Loss of Coordination
  • Fainting or Near-Fainting
  • Detectable Carotid Bruit
  • Pre-Operative Screening
  • Speech Difficulties

Diagnostic Findings

  • Carotid Artery Narrowing
  • Arterial Wall Thickening
  • Risk of Transient Ischemic Attack
  • Stroke Risk Assessment
  • Compromised Cerebral Blood Flow
  • Subclavian Artery Stenosis

Echocardiogram Ultrasound

An echocardiogram uses ultrasound technology to produce a moving picture of the heart, allowing physicians to evaluate how effectively it beats, pumps blood, and manages flow through its chambers and valves. This examination is essential for diagnosing structural and functional cardiac conditions and plays a vital role in ongoing cardiovascular care.

Common Indications

  • Chest Pain or Discomfort
  • Persistent Shortness of Breath
  • Severe or Resistant Hypertension
  • Heart Murmur Detection

  • Prior Heart Attack Damage
  • Overall Cardiac Function

Pelvic Ultrasound

Pelvic ultrasound offers a safe and reliable method for evaluating the reproductive and urinary organs, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and bladder. Using Doppler technology to assess blood flow patterns, this 30-minute exam provides critical diagnostic information. A full bladder is typically recommended for optimal imaging.

Common Indications

  • Pelvic Pain or Pressure
  • Suspected Fibroids
  • Abnormal or Irregular Bleeding
  • Missed or Absent Menstrual Periods
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Concerns
  • Endometrial Thickening
  • Urinary Tract Obstruction

  • Ovarian Torsion
  • Dermoid Cysts
  • Cervical or Bladder Abnormalities

Renal Ultrasound

A renal ultrasound provides a thorough, noninvasive assessment of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Using real-time imaging enhanced by color Doppler, this exam identifies structural abnormalities, fluid blockages, stones, and masses within the urinary system. No special preparation is needed, and results are typically available in under 30 minutes.

Common Indications

  • Flank or Lower Back Pain
  • Blood in the Urine
  • Suspected Kidney Stones
  • Elevated Protein in Urine
  • Swelling of the Kidneys

Scrotal ultrasound is widely regarded as the definitive imaging method for evaluating testicular health. This 30-minute examination provides high-resolution, real-time images of the testicles, epididymis, spermatic cord, and surrounding structures while simultaneously monitoring arterial and venous blood flow to detect a broad range of conditions.

Common Indications

  • Testicular Pain or Swelling
  • Palpable Scrotal Mass
  • Suspected Testicular Torsion
  • Varicocele Symptoms
  • Epididymal Inflammation
  • Spermatocele Evaluation

Thyroid Ultrasound

The thyroid gland, located at the base of the neck, produces hormones that govern metabolism, energy levels, heart rate, and body temperature. A thyroid ultrasound provides a fast, painless assessment of the gland’s size, shape, and internal structure, making it an essential tool for evaluating nodules, inflammation, and other thyroid disorders. The exam is typically completed in under 30 minutes.

Common Indications

  • Overactive or Underactive Thyroid
  • Palpable Neck Mass or Nodule
  • Abnormal Thyroid Lab Results
  • Difficulty Swallowing

Venous ultrasound examines the deep and superficial veins of the upper or lower extremities to evaluate circulation and detect obstructions. This study is the frontline diagnostic tool for identifying blood clots and assessing chronic venous insufficiency, which can lead to varicose veins and other complications. The exam requires no preparation and is completed in under 30 minutes.

Common Indications

  • Leg Pain or Heaviness
  • Swelling in the Extremities
  • Unexplained Edema
  • Sudden Shortness of Breath
  • Suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis
