The Importance of Vascular Ultrasound
Vascular ultrasound is an important screening and diagnostic tool and can help determine the presence of vascular disease such as peripheral arterial disease and coronary artery disease, and conditions like deep vein thrombosis and abdominal aortic aneurism. If left untreated, vascular disease can have serious consequences such as heart attack, stroke, or even death. Regular screening is important to help identify vascular disease early on. Clinics and hospitals should have access to a dedicated vascular laboratory either via referral or in-hospital to provide fast, excellent care for patients at risk of vascular disease.
The Benefits of Dedicated Vascular Ultrasound Services
Many hospitals utilize existing radiology labs for vascular ultrasound exams; however, these labs may be inundated with other ultrasound exams and cannot provide the same specialized attention as a dedicated vascular lab. This can result in delays or the need for repeated exams.
Without access to high quality vascular ultrasound services, hospitals and patients face higher costs as well. For example, when a patient arrives at the ER who needs a vascular ultrasound but is unable to receive same-day access to a quality vascular ultrasound exam, they may need either a repeat ultrasound exam, a CT angiogram, or may even be admitted overnight. Each of these alternatives results in higher costs for patients and a loss of time for providers.
