Non-Invasive Vascular Studies

After conducting physical exams, our physicians use non-invasive vascular studies as the starting point for diagnosing diseases and conditions that affect the circulatory system, such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms and deep vein thrombosis. These tests are considered non-invasive because they do not require the use of needles or injection of dyes. Examples include chest x-rays, electrocardiograms and CT scans.

Ultrasounds are the most frequently used non-invasive vascular study, as these types of tests are capable of delivering imaging of the heart – including the direction and pace of blood flow.
