Peripheral Vascular
Noninvasive testing:
- Ankle brachial indices (ABIs)- A screening method that checks the pressures in your vessels in efforts to determine potential blockage.
- Duplex Scan/Ultrasound - A doppler microphone is placed over your skin and produces images of the vessel on a screen to determine if a blockage is present.
- CT Scan - produces x-ray views of the vessel and provides information on the size & location of the vessel.
Invasive testing:
- Angiogram - Dye is injected into an artery and the vessel is visualized with x-ray to detect blockages
