M-mode 2D echocardiography and cardiac doppler are performed to obtain views of the heart and look at how blood flows through the heart chambers, heart valves, and blood vessels. This test is used to look for the cause of abnormal heart sounds, an enlarged heart, unexplained chest pains, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats; check the thickness and movement of the heart wall; look at the heart valves and check how well they work; see how well an artificial heart valve is working; measure the size and shape of the heart’s chambers; check the ability of your heart chambers to pump blood; detect a disease that affects the heart muscle and the way it pumps; and look for blood clots and tumors inside the heart.

A safe and painless ultrasound is performed to produce a picture of the organs and other structures in the upper abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. This test is used to find the cause of abdominal pain; check the size, shape, and position of the liver; detect gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder, or blocked bile ducts; learn the size of an enlarged spleen and look for damage or disease; find problems with the pancreas; find out the size of the kidneys, detect kidney masses, detect fluid surrounding the kidneys, investigate causes for recurring urinary tract infections, or check the condition of transplanted kidneys; and find out whether a mass in any of the abdominal organs is a solid tumor or a simple fluid-filled cyst.

B-mode imaging is used to look inside the abdominal aorta, which is the large blood vessel that passes down the back of the chest and abdomen, supplying blood to the lower part of the body and the legs. A bi-directional doppler determines blood flow velocities. This test is used to find, measure, or monitor an aneurysm in the aorta, which if left undetected may rupture and cause death.

A bilateral color doppler analysis is used to look inside the carotid bulb as well as internal and external carotid arteries. This test is used to determine the velocity of blood flow to the brain and find the presence, amount, and location of arterial plaque. Buildup within the carotid arteries can reduce blood flow to the brain and may increase the risk of stroke.

A pulse-doppler morphologic evaluation is used to evaluate blood flow through the major arteries of both lower extremities. This test is used to determine the velocity of blood flow within the arteries of both legs and find out the presence, amount, and location of arterial plaque. Venous doppler ultrasound is used to evaluate blood flow in the legs and can help diagnose conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) Varicose vein and venous insufficiency.

A real-time ultrasound scan is performed to evaluate the organs and structures in the lower abdominal area. This test is used to look at the bladder as well as the ovaries, uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes to detect cysts, masses, and any other abnormalities.

A real-time ultrasound is performed to measure the size and shape of the thyroid gland. This test is used to check lumps in the thyroid gland and find out whether the thyroid gland is enlarged.
