Vascular Ultrasound Services
We offer specialized vascular ultrasound services at Urgent Care of Texas, along with many other specialists. This noninvasive imaging technique uses sound waves to visualize blood flow in veins and arteries. Diagnosing and managing many vascular conditions rely on this service, a safe and efficient assessment of circulation and blood vessel health that requires no radiation and does not even require an invasive procedure.
Uses of Vascular Ultrasound
Detecting Blood Clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis): Vascular ultrasounds can identify blood clots in veins, especially in the legs, helping prevent complications like pulmonary embolism.
Diagnosing Arterial Blockages: Ultrasounds assess for narrowed or blocked arteries, which can indicate conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD) and increase the risk of stroke or heart disease.
Assessing Varicose Veins: The test helps diagnose and evaluate varicose veins, guiding treatment decisions and managing symptoms like pain or swelling.
Evaluating Aneurysms: Vascular ultrasound can detect abnormal vessel bulges (aneurysms) that require monitoring to prevent rupture.
Monitoring Post-Surgery Recovery: After vascular surgeries or procedures, ultrasounds can monitor blood flow to ensure vessels remain open and blood circulates properly.
Vascular ultrasound services are available through Urgent Care of Texas to provide convenient, exacting diagnostics to keep hearts and vessels healthy and care for patients promptly and with a personal care plan.
