Ultrasound technology is used during this process to help the technician or doctor to determine if there are any abnormalities or obstructions in the flow of blood in the arteries or veins.

  • Diagnostic X-ray- is a painless and non-invasive tool used by physicians to help diagnose abnormalities such as broken bones, pneumonia, foreign objects or tumors in the body.

  • Interventional Radiology- Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose or treat diseases. Board certified radiologists use imaging such as X-ray or MRI to advance a catheter into the body to detect or treat conditions such as peripheral arterial disease.
