Benefits
of Screening for Peripheral Vascular Disease
To help diagnosis and treat patients with risk factors and/or symptoms
that may predispose them to
Peripheral Vascular Disease, University Radiology now offers non-invasive
Peripheral Arterial Exams at our
Metuchen office. The results of this relatively inexpensive study
will give you the information needed to determine the likelihood
that the patient has Peripheral Vascular Disease and its extent.
This testing is particularly helpful in the evaluation of patients
with a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes,
renal insufficiency or smoking history with symptoms of leg pain
or nonhealing ulcers.
Within 24 hours, the physician will receive a report which includes
testing results and recommendations
regarding appropriate patient management.
A sample report is shown in the case study below. This painless
test, is performed on state-of-the-art equipment under the supervision
of one of our Board Certified Interventional and Vascular Radiologists
and a Registered Vascular Technologist.
