Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound

   
 

General Description      
     Sonogram of the main body artery.  The abdominal vasculature is now relatively easy to image with the latest ultrasound technology. Aortoiliac and renal arterial studies are routinely performed in our laboratory. With proper patient preparation (NPO after midnight) our lab has a high accuracy rate for predicting aneurysmal, mesenteric, and occlusive disease of the aorto-iliac segments with precise location. Allows the cardiologist to assess for anuerysms.

Patient Preparation
     No food after midnight prior to test. Allow 20 minutes this test.
