Ultrasound
In house ultrasounds for a variety of ultrasound types (including Abdominal, Arterial and Venous Doppler’s, Carotids and ECHO). An Ultrasound is a diagnostic medical imaging technique that produces pictures of the inside of the body by using sound waves. With ultrasounds, your physician can visualize your internal organs, tendons, and muscles to capture their structure, size, and any pathological lesions.
Venous ultrasounds are used to view your veins throughout your body in order to detect blood clots. If the veins in your abdomen are going to be examined, then you will most likely be asked not to drink or eat anything, except for water, for about 6 to 8 hours before the procedure. A Doppler ultrasound might be part of a venous ultrasound exam. Doppler ultrasound is a technique that shows the blood flow through the veins and arteries in the legs, arms, abdomen, neck and/or brain, and various body organs so that a physician can evaluate the blood flow and look for signs of abnormality.
Ultrasounds are safe and painless, with no side effects or exposure to radiation. They are ideal as a simple, noninvasive medical test in order to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.

Echocardiogram
This test checks for any problems or abnormalities with the electrical activity of your heart. An EKG or ECG (electrocardiogram) is a test that is performed to check for any problems with the electrical activity of a person’s heart. The electrical activity is shown as line tracings on a paper, with spikes and dips called waves. There are several reasons that your physician may recommend an EKG test be done. An EKG may be done to find the cause of unexplained chest pain, which could be caused by a heart attack, angina, or pericarditis. It is also done to: find the cause of symptoms of heart disease; check the thickness of the walls of the heart chambers; check how well mechanical devices implanted in the heart and medicines are working; and to check heart health when other conditions or diseases are present, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

Your doctor can use the images from an echocardiogram to identify structural heart disease.
