vascular ultrasound
Artery viewing scan
Vascular ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses sound waves to visualize blood vessels and assess blood flow.
It detects blockages, clots, aneurysms, and narrowing in arteries and veins: The vascular ultrasound showed significant plaque buildup in his carotid artery.
The procedure is noninvasive and doesn't use radiation.
