Stroke Screenings
Conducted by trained technologists, the painless, non-invasive ultrasound screenings are completed in less than an hour. The screenings are offered as a way to make people aware of any undetected health problems and encourage them to seek follow up care, if necessary, with their physician.
There is a series of three screenings:
- Stroke Carotid Artery Disease detects plaque build up or blockages in the carotid arteries.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Enlargement of the abdominal aorta often goes undetected, with deadly results.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease Leg Circulation Test (A.B.I.) Hardening of the Arteries Test (A.S.I.)
Results are available 48 hours after completion of the assessment.
