Getting Checked – The Vascular Risk Appraisal

A Vascular Risk Appraisal serves as an excellent marker from which to gauge your Cardiovascular Health. Delta Diagnostics offers a Mobile Vascular Screening Program conducted by Registered Technologists. We utilize the very latest Diagnostic Technology to assess your cardiac and vascular health. The testing preformed by Delta Diagnostics is Non-Invasive and DOES NOT INVOLVE the use of Needles or the insertion of Catheters or Tubes. Also, unlike CT Scans, the Ultrasound Equipment used by Delta Diagnostic DOES NOT Deliver any amount of Radiation. Correlation of positive studies to invasive testing or ultrasound is documented as a quality assurance measure.

Scan Zones of The Vascular Risk Appraisal

Carotid Arteries

This scan detects the presence of Plaque and measures the Intimal Thickening of the Carotid Arteries. The presence of Plaque is an indication of Vascular Disease while Intimal Thickening is an indicator of Heart Disease.

Abdominal Aorta

This scan notes the presence of Plaque, Clots or Aneurysm.

Lower Extremities

An assessment of how well the blood Circulates through your Legs will notate either a Normal Flow or Decreased Circulation. Decreased Circulation in the Lower Extremities is a Positive Indicator of Heart Disease.

After your scan is complete, a Registered Nurse will review your results with you and outline a suggested plan of care. With your permission, Delta Diagnostics will forward your scan results to your physician. A Continuum of Care is promoted between PT and Physician through access of Diagnostic Images as well as the opportunity to speak with the staff of Delta Diagnostics if questions should arise.
