FWNC VASCULAR LABORATORY
With the development of non-invasive techniques to accurately diagnose cerebral vascular disorders and disease, testing has become easier and safer for both patients and clinicians. High definition imaging, complemented by technological advances such as color power angio, allows the clinician to obtain highly dependable diagnosis without fear of contradictions. FWNC maintains a full-service vascular lab at its Lake Avenue site. Not only does this help speed the evaluation and treatment of our patients, but its more convenient for both patients and doctors.
Non-Invasive Techniques for Evaluating Vascular Disorders
With the development of non-invasive techniques to accurately diagnose cerebral vascular disorders and disease, testing has become easier and safer for both patients and clinicians. High definition imaging, complemented by technological advances such as color power angio, allows the clinician to obtain highly-dependable diagnoses without fear of contraindications.
Physicians and patients alike can benefit from today's technology at the Fort Wayne Vascular Lab. We use industry-leading, non-invasive equipment to aid the clinician in diagnosing and treating vascular disorders. For example, our ATL HDI 3000 digital computerized system provides the most accurate and complete diagnostics available today. This allows physicians to begin treating vascular problems more quickly and more effectively than ever before.
The Fort Wayne Vascular Lab conducts cerebral vascular examinations under the direction of the neurology staff of the Fort Wayne Neurological Center. Peripheral arterial and venous examinations are directed and interpreted by board-certified cardiovascular surgeons of either Fort Wayne Cardiovascular Surgeons or Cardiovascular Associates. All vascular examinations are performed by a registered vascular technologist.
Cerebral Vascular Examination
Indications:
Indications For Lower Extremities:
This plethysmographic technique provides information regarding the degree of blockage, the amount of collateralization and local perfusion.
Color Flow Duplex sonography can be performed for diagnosis of arterial narrowing or blockages, aneurysms, follow-up of bypass grafts or to localize stenotic lesions prior to balloon angioplasty procedures.
Non-Invasive Venous Evaluation
Indications For Extremities:
