Studies
performed include carotid and lower extremity exams
as well as duplex imaging of the aorta, surveillance
of peripheral bypass and
hemodialysis grafts. Venous exams for deep vein thrombosis
and varicose veins are also performed with immediate callback
to the referring physician if requested.
HealthCare
Midwest Ultrasound Laboratory is now offering a
Vascular
Screening for carotid artery disease and abdominal aneurysm.
Our
goal with the screening is to offer an inexpensive
way to identify
individuals with significant disease before a problem arises.
This
screening is for asymptomatic patients who are
concerned about early detection of vascular disease
in order to decrease the risk of stroke and abdominal
aorta aneurysm associated with rupture and death.
The
cost is $80.00 for both the carotid artery and
abdominal aneurysm screening which is not covered
or reimbursed by your insurance. The exam takes
about 15 minutes and is painless. Payment is required
at check in prior to screening.
After
the screenings are reviewed by our vascular surgeon
the results will be sent to your primary care physician
for any necessary follow up.
