What is a Vascular Ultrasound?

 

 A vascular ultrasound is a type of medical imaging test that is used to diagnose and monitor conditions of the blood vessels and circulatory system. It uses sound waves to create images of the arteries and veins, allowing doctors to detect any issues or abnormalities. Vascular ultrasounds can be used to diagnose problems such as aneurysms, blockages, and varicose veins.
