The word vascular refers to the circulatory system of the body— the blood vessels which carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body’s organs (by the arteries) and from the organs back to the heart (by the veins). This type of ultrasound is called Duplex Ultrasound.

The vascular system is the main transport mechanism of the body. The arterial system delivers oxygen and nutrients to the organs to help them replace dead tissues and grow and the venous system is responsible for the removal of waste products from cells. Owing to genetic factors and the Western lifestyle, the function of the vascular system is seriously at risk here.

A computer converts the sound waves into two-dimensional, color moving pictures to analyze and assess if the conventional blood flow is affected by any problem in the blood vessels, such as cholesterol deposits, if there are any other types of blockage in the vessels or if the speed of blood flow is affected due to any blockage.

Why It Is Done

The vascular technology utilizes diagnostic ultrasound to generate images of blood flow within the veins and arteries using high-frequency sound waves to make sure that the circulatory system in our body is functioning well. For example, if your physician wants to make sure that you do not have a blood clot in your leg, he or she might order a vascular ultrasound for that part of the body.

The information obtained through vascular ultrasound examinations is extremely helpful to physicians in diagnosing a variety of conditions related to cardiovascular disease, disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Early detection of life-threatening vascular diseases is possible through the use of non-invasive vascular testing techniques performed within vascular facilities.

Your physician may recommend a duplex ultrasound to help diagnose and examine conditions that affect the blood vessels. These conditions include:

• Carotid occlusive disease
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Leg artery disease
• Arm artery disease
• Aortoiliac occlusive disease
• Varicose veins
• Aneurysms in your abdomen or extremities

Risks

Vascular ultrasound procedures are non-invasive, meaning they do not require the use of needles, dyes, radiation or anesthesia and are, therefore, relatively painless and harmless.

Pharma-Medical Science College of Canada is pleased to offer you, FREE OPEN CLASS, for Breast Ultrasound Exam Preparation.

A breast ultrasound uses sound waves in order to create a picture of the tissues inside the breast. A breast ultrasound can show all parts of the breast, including the area closest to the chest wall, which is difficult to examine during a mammogram session which is a 2D X-Ray or during a regular clinical breast exam. The breast scan helps to provide images of all layers and angles of the breast.

For a breast ultrasound, a small handheld device called a transducer is gently passed back and forth over the breast. The sound wave is turned into a picture in the computer to represent a breast scan.

Why It Is Done

Breast ultrasound can add important information to the results of other tests, such as a mammogram or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It can usefully provide information to an undiagnosed disease not found in a mammogram. A breast ultrasound may be done to:

• Find the cause of breast symptoms, such as pain, swelling, and redness.
• Check a breast lump found on breast self-examination or physical examination. A lump that has no fluid or that has fluid with floating particles may need more tests.
• Check abnormal results from a mammogram.
• Look at the breasts in younger women because their breast tissue is often denser, and a mammogram may not show as much detail.
• Guide the placement of a needle or other tube to drain a collection of fluid (cyst) or pus (abscess), take a sample of breast tissue (biopsy), or guide breast surgery.
• Watch for changes in the size of a cyst or a noncancerous lump (fibroadenoma).
• See how far cancer has spread in a breast and in which stage it is.
• Help to identify the location of the breast tissue where surgery or biopsy needs to be done.

Risks

Breast ultrasound does not use X-rays or any other types of harmful radiation. Besides, there are no known risks in having a breast ultrasound test.

Career Opportunities

Ultrasound Sonography due to its reliable and accurate diagnosis and safe imaging process (no radiation involved) is becoming one of the most highly sought occupations for medical professionals.
