Vascular Diagnostic Testing

At Evangelical, we offer a full range of diagnostic testing for vascular conditions and diseases. And we offer that testing in a comfortable, soothing environment.

Non-Invasive Vascular Testing

Ultrasound Testing of Blood Vessels in the Abdomen

  • Aorta and iliac duplex testing (of vessels in the heart and pelvis)
  • Mesenteric duplex testing (of vessels in the membrane that attaches the small intestines to the abdominal wall)
  • rRnal duplex testing (of vessels in the kidneys)

Evaluation of Arteries in the Extremities

  • Direct ultrasound studies
  • Indirect doppler pressure and waveform testing (with the patient at rest and after treadmill exercise)
  • Dialysis access duplex testing

Evaluation of Veins in the Extremities

  • Doppler ultrasound exams (which uses sound waves to show blood flow)
  • Plethysmography (to measure changes in blood volume within an organ or limb)
  • D-dimer blood test (to check for blood-clotting problems)

Evaluation of Blood Vessels of the Brain

  • Carotid and vertebral duplex ultrasound (measuring blood flow to the brain)
  • Transcranial doppler (measuring the speed of blood flow within the brain)

Invasive Vascular Testing

  • Arteriography/angiography (to view the inside of blood vessels)
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided angiography
  • Computed tomography (CT) guided angiography
  • Venography (which uses contrast material to measure blood flow through the veins)
