Emory Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory

Providing the most advanced diagnostic services currently available

Located in the outpatient complex of the Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy at The Emory Clinic, the Emory Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory is accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories and is staffed by highly qualified and experienced vascular technologists and physicians. Affiliated with one of the most respected and progressive vascular surgery centers in the world, the lab offers state-of-the-art diagnostic services.

Diagnostic Services - Duplex Ultrasound and More

The lab's duplex ultrasound, segmental pressure and velocity waveform studies are performed on an outpatient basis and can detect and analyze virtually any known vascular disorder. 

	Duplex ultrasound traces the patient's blood flow with sound waves, producing color images that assess the size of blood vessels, the degree of vessel narrowing, and the presence or absence of blood flow. The technology can diagnose and evaluate cerebrovascular conditions, AV fistula, stroke risk due to carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, upper and lower extremity venous disease, and the status of bypass grafts.
	For upper and lower arterial studies, segmental pressure studies involve applying painless pressure to measure blood flow, while velocity waveform studies scrutinize selected arterial velocity signals via duplex ultrasound and spectral analysis to localize the level of disease to the inflow, outflow, or runoff vessels.
	If ordered by a division physician, computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography are done at the Department of Radiology.
