Digital X-Ray
The newest in Digital X-Ray technology is available on-site at our office. Needless to say, we're excited to offer digital x-ray as it produces fast and clear electronic images that can be reviewed with you within minutes of when they are taken. We can then send the x-ray via computer for viewing by our team of radiologists. The efficiency of Digital X-ray allows us another way of involving you in the process of diagnosis and healing.
Carotid IMT Testing
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) Testing is a non-invasive ultrasound technology used at our office to determine your risk for heart attack, atherosclerosis and stroke. We utilize a skilled, certified ultrasound technician to obtain specialized images of the carotid artery, the artery near the surface of your neck.
Vascular Disease Test
Vascular Disease Testing, also referred to as Ankle Brachial pressure Index (ABPI or ABI) tests your potential for hardened arteries otherwise known as peripheral vascular disease (PAD). A simple test of measuring the blood pressure in your lower legs and dividing the lower leg blood pressure by the blood pressure in your arms, we are able to identify your PAD likelihood and act accordingly.
Bone Density Test
We can now test in-house for bone density using our top of the line GE Bone Densitometry Machine (DEXA). This test can be a great help when it comes to determining risk and diagnosing bone deterioration diseases, osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Berkeley Heart Test
Because a person can be at risk for heart disease even with good cholesterol numbers, we provide the comprehensive Berkeley Heart Test at our office. Berkeley provides you with a personalized cholesterol test based on genetics, the size of cholesterol particles, the level of inflammation in your arteries, and how you react to different drugs, food, alcohol, stress and exercise helping to detect and prevent heart disease.
