Non-invasive ultrasound testing is the cornerstone of diagnosis for vascular conditions. When you come to the Albert Vein Institute for a consultation, your evaluation will include this definitive diagnostic test. When your consultation is completed, you will know the cause of your vascular problem and what can be done to correct it..

Vascular Tests
Ultrasound imaging and ultrasound-detected blood flow can diagnose nearly all vascular conditions. Ultrasound vascular testing is painless and non-invasive; there are no needle sticks and no catheters inserted into veins or arteries.
Vein Testing
Veins are imaged with duplex ultrasound and pulse wave Doppler - the most accurate non-invasive tests among today's high-tech diagnostic options. This technology provides a direct image of the veins and also measures the flow of blood. These images show the size of the veins and direction of blood flow, including reflux, or abnormal flow, through vein valves. They also spot blood clots and pinpoint the cause of specific vein abnormalities so Dr. Albert can formulate a precise treatment plan for you.
Other Blood Vessel Testing
We also perform arterial testing to identify carotid artery disease, abdominal aneurisms, and peripheral vascular disease.
