Early Detection and Prevention saves lives

Vascular Screening and Vascular Risk Assessment can  facilitate:

  • Early detection of peripheral arterial disease.
  • Early detection of stroke risk due to blockage in the carotid artery.
  • Early detection of  an aneurysm particularly if you are a current or past smoker and have a family history of an aneurysm.

 Benefits of Vascular Screening and Vascular Risk Assessment

  • Early detection allows early intervention to prevent disease progression.
  • Most screenings are affordable, and takes less than an hour to complete.
  • Results are immediately available and can be mailed to your primary care provider upon your request.

Come Prepared for Easy Screening

  • Patient should wear two-piece loose-fitting clothing. This allows for easy scanning.
  • Avoid tights or pantyhose.
  • Aneurysm screening requires you to fast for a minimum of 4 hours.
  • Patients are required to fast for 8-12 hours prior to a glucose or lipid check. You can, however, drink water and take medications as prescribed.
  • Do not use oils, creams or lotion on the skin, as this can interfere with scan.
