Ultrasound technology is a vetted and reliable diagnostic imaging method that has been used in medicine for more than 80 years. It is an invaluable tool for detection, diagnosis, and surveillance of vascular disease. With early detection, vascular disease is treatable and, in some cases, symptoms can even be reversed. Detection and diagnosis can be improved even further thanks to vascular imaging advancements and […]
Increasing your Vascular Ultrasound Capacity: Outsourcing for Success Vascular ultrasound is an important tool for hospitals when it comes to vascular disease screening, diagnosis, and surveillance. However, many hospitals do not have a dedicated vascular ultrasound lab and must share resources with an existing radiology department, which has its own patients and priorities. In these cases, hospitals and […]
Non-invasive vascular ultrasound is the leading imaging technique to screen for and diagnose vascular disease. Vascular ultrasound technology is safe, efficient, and can be a life-saving tool when used in early detection of vascular disease. Vascular disease includes a variety of conditions that affect the vascular system, including cardiovascular (heart) disease, peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, […]
Vascular disease affects a large portion of the population in the United States. Cardiovascular disease in particular affects nearly half of all adults and it is the leading cause of death among adults in the U.S. Vascular disease includes conditions such as atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and carotid artery disease […]
Vascular ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive way to examine the vascular, or circulatory, system. This type of imaging can provide diagnostic results, screening information, and crucial guidance for vascular surgeons. Screening and early diagnosis of vascular disease can lead to better patient outcomes. Cardiovascular disease is typically treatable and sometimes even reversible with […]

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, patient experience has become a top priority for providers. A critical yet often overlooked aspect of this experience is the referral process for diagnostic imaging. Whether it’s an X-ray, MRI, CT scan, or ultrasound, imaging plays a pivotal role in accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. Unfortunately, inefficient referral systems […]
Heart disease, or cardiovascular disease, refers to a range of common yet serious conditions affecting the cardiovascular system and can lead to an increased risk of stroke. Nearly half of Americans have some type of cardiovascular disease according to the American Heart Association. It is the leading cause of death in the United States, and […]
Preventive care is an important part of patient health and wellness. Preventive care can include regular primary care visits, vaccines, and screening tests. Screening tests are especially important because they can detect certain conditions or diseases that may not present symptoms. For certain populations, cardiovascular screening is crucial to maintaining health and wellness. Cardiovascular disease […]
