Stroke Screening/Carotid Artery
Plaque buildup is an abnormal collection of calcium and cholesterol on the artery walls. Blocked carotid arteries can restrict blood flow to the brain or break off and become lodged in a blood vessel, resulting in a stroke. Through ultrasound technology, we can scan the carotid arteries along each side of the neck to detect narrowing or blockages. Early detection will allow you to take an appropriate course of action that may reduce future risk.
Cost of individual screening: $40
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening
An abdominal aortic aneurism is a ballooning of the wall in the abdominal aorta that's most often caused by plaque buildup. Noticeable symptoms of an AAA are uncommon, and you may never know you have it. Early detection can increase your survival rate by 50% or more compared to emergency treatment after a ruptured aneurysm.
Cost of Individual screening: $40
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Screening
Peripheral arterial disease mainly affects the arteries located in arms, legs and feet. When fatty deposits build up in the inner linings of the artery walls, blood flow is restricted. PAD often goes undiagnosed until painful symptoms start. Detection could also help prevent future heart attack and stroke.
Cost of individual screening: $20
Thyroid Ultrasound Screening
Thyroid ultrasound screening is a sound wave image. Thyroid ultrasounds can be used to detect tumors, cysts, goiters or abnormal lymph nodes of the thyroid gland.
