  • Amniotic Fluid Embolism.
  • Acute Pulmonary Embolism.
  • Dural Venous Sinus Thrombosis.
  • Ovarian Vein Thrombophlebitis.

Why Have Vascular Imaging? Vascular imaging may be used to help diagnose a variety of conditions that impact blood flow, including atherosclerosis, aneurysm, inflammatory conditions, varicose veins, or blood clots. The type of vascular imaging procedure used depends upon the suspected condition.

  • Diabetes.
  • Hyperlipidemia.
  • Smoking cessation.

Undoubtedly, one of the most powerful imaging tests in preventive cardiology is the coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan. Indeed, this is the only imaging testing that is endorsed by the current cholesterol and prevention guidelines

How is it diagnosed?

Vascular ultrasound: This noninvasive exam uses high-frequency sound waves to create images to detect the rate of blood flow through blood vessels. Ultrasound imaging can be used to detect blood clots and narrowed blood vessels throughout the body

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

Gel will be applied to the skin of the neck, and a transducer will be placed on the gel-covered areas to obtain images and evaluate and listen to the blood flow in the arteries. Venous duplex ultrasound can be used to evaluate the veins that carry blood to the heart from the legs or arms.
