The Vascular Laboratory employs use of current noninvasive ultrasound technology to assist the medical doctors in the treatment of venous disease at the Vein Institute. The ultrasound technology is also used here to diagnose a host of problems throughout the vascular tree such as carotid artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysms, arm and leg artery blockages, deep venous thrombosis and phlebitis.
Below are some examples of the diagnostic images from our Lab.
Carotid artery bifurcation.
Note the plaque formation in the distal CCA/proximal ICA.
Right common carotid and subclavian artery origins
Note the calcified plaque at the origin of the subclavian artery.
Distal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Note the soft plaque formation on the distal wall..
Split screen image of a normal left renal artery.
Grey scale image to the left and color Doppler to the right.
Left distal renal artery.
Normal Doppler velocity signal.
Right proximal renal artery stenosis.
Note the narrowed color Doppler flow channel.
Proximal celiac artery stenosis.
Note the narrowed color Doppler flow channel.
Right proximal renal artery stenosis.
Note the abnormally high Doppler velocity signal.

The incompetent vein has been successfully closed to flow.
Right femoral to anterior tibial bypass graft.
Note the widely patent distal anastamosis
Incompetent great saphenous vein.
Note the reverse red color Doppler flow dipicting reflux.
