Radiology Regional offers three types of ultrasound screenings to help detect vascular disease.
When it comes to vascular disease, most symptoms don’t show up until a potentially life-threatening situation – like an aneurysm – occurs. If you have more than one of the following risk factors, an ultrasound screening may be beneficial for you:
- Age 55+
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Current or history of using nicotine products
- Overweight and/or an inactive lifestyle
- Family history of cardiovascular disease or aneurysms
