This preventative ultrasound painlessly scans the abdominal area searching for the presence of an aneurysm or “ballooning” in the aortic artery. Early detection of an aortic aneurysm can help to prevent serious complications or a life threatening rupture of the aortic artery.

IMT (Intima-Media Thickness) scan uses high resolution ultrasound images to view the carotid artery and not only scans for clogging fatty plaques, but measures the thickness of these neck arteries that carries blood to the brain. The thickening of these arterial walls is an even better predictor of future heart-disease and stroke than having high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Unfortunately, heart disease is the #1 health problem for all Americans and many people that are affected by these serious diseases show no prior symptoms.

Fortunately, your neighbors at RGL Medical are now offering a self-referred low cost screening program that uses a simple, innovative, and non-invasive ultrasound imagining technology that is extremely effective in forecasting long-term risk for heart disease and can significantly reduce your risk for stroke.
