Because early detection can reduce the
risk of serious complications, Mount Carmel puts enormous emphasis on
diagnosis. Using the most advanced, non-invasive vascular testing, our non-invasive diagnostic facilities put
us at the forefront of vascular care. And with peripheral labs at Mount Carmel
East, Mount Carmel West and Mount Carmel St. Ann's, we provide superior imaging
for diagnostic angiograms. Among the diagnostic tools available at Mount Carmel
are:
Ultrasound
Measures
arterial blood flow to diagnose and determine the size and location of
blockages in the carotid and other arteries.
CT Scan
Uses
cross-sectional X-rays to evaluate the vascular system.
MRI/Magnetic
Resonance Angiography (MRA)
Evaluates arteries and veins in the body without the use of X-ray contrast.
This study provides doctors with a roadmap for any necessary further
interventions.
Diagnostic Angiogram
Provides an X-ray of the
blood vessels to show blockages or other abnormalities in the veins or
arteries.
