Vascular Ultrasound Exams

Smiling seniors

Vascular ultrasound examinations are noninvasive, painless medical tests. They can detect serious vascular conditions and help doctors determine the best treatment options.

VIVA performs vascular ultrasound tests to evaluate:

  • Upper and lower extremities for peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
  • Carotid arteries for plaque that can cause strokes
  • The abdominal aorta for aneurysms
  • Leg veins for deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins
  • Arm veins for vein thrombosis

VIVA technologists who perform ultrasound tests have passed board exams of the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers to become Registered Vascular Technologists (RVTs). VIVA is accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories. Vascular ultrasounds are interpreted by our board-certified interventional radiologists.
