Procedure
| Our non-invasive Sydney Vascular Laboratory is one of the key components of the Sydney Endovascular Specialists. Non-invasive testing, as the name implies allows patients to be examined using Doppler ultrasound techniques free of the risks and discomforts of injections and/or other invasive manoeuvres. These tests allow diagnosis of almost all known or suspected vascular disorders and testing can often determine the severity of the problems and its need for treatment. A full range of non-invasive tests is available at Sydney Vascular Laboratory including tests for: |
