Vascular Ultrasound
What is a detailed vascular diagnosis?
As part of the detailed vascular diagnosis, various methods are used to examine the vessels.
Vascular diagnosis covers a wide range of services that can be used to treat everything from leg pain to circulatory problems. It also specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases, peripheral arterial diseases, carotid artery stenoses and aortic aneurysms.
The vascular diagnostic services include, among other things:
Carotid ultrasound
The ultrasound examination of the carotid artery is used to detect blockages and narrowing in the carotid arteries.
Abdominal aortic ultrasound
The ultrasound examination of the abdominal aorta is used to detect blockages and bulging in the abdominal aorta.
Arterial ultrasound of the arms and legs
This examination is used to visualize blood circulation in the arms and legs and enables the detection of blockages and narrowing in the arteries of the upper and lower limbs.
Venous ultrasound of the arms and legs
Venous ultrasound of the arms and legs is used to check for blood clots in the arms and legs.
Which patients are candidates for vascular treatment?
The most common vascular diseases that require treatment include:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
Blood clots
Carotid artery disease
Chronic venous insufficiency
Deep vein thrombosis
Mesenteric ischemia: damage to the small intestine caused by poor blood flow
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Renovascular disease
Spider veins
Superficial vein thrombosis/phlebitis
Varicose veins
Venous reflux
Ulcers
Why choose Dr. Konstantinou for your vascular diagnostics?
We believe that high-quality diagnostics are an important first step in the treatment of vascular diseases. After determining the results of the diagnostic tests, we will work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
We have also developed a formula to precisely determine and quantify vascular constrictions.
During the examination, a detailed “map” of your vascular system is created. Possible plaques (deposits) or aneurysms (bulges) are carefully recorded and used as a reference for follow-up examinations.
