Diagnostic Vascular Services
Non-Invasive Vascular Testing
Performing over 15,000 diagnostic tests annually, the Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital provides diagnostic testing and screening for a full range of vascular diseases.
The lab provides testing for:
- Carotid artery disease
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
- Venous disease
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
- Reynaud’s Disease
- Sickle Cell Anemia
- Various other disorders.
Our laboratory has received full accreditation by ICAVL, the Inter-Societal Counsel for Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories.
Services provided include:
- Duplex ultrasonography for both arterial and venous disease
- Segmental limb pressure readings
- Ankle-brachial index recordings
- Pulse volume recordings
- Cold immersion testing
- Intracranial duplex imaging
- Transcutaneous skin O2 recordings
All testing at the laboratory is performed on state-of-the-art imaging equipment with digital image recording and transfer capabilities. Digital images are available to our physicians immediately via remote online access, allowing physicians 24-hour access to all studies. In addition, all tests are interpreted by our own board-certified vascular surgeons, who are experts in evaluation of non-invasive vascular imaging.
Radiologic Imaging
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, in conjunction with the University Radiology Group at Robert Wood Johnson, provides a full range of diagnostic imaging services. Inpatients imaging is available within the hospital, and outpatient imaging is available at a new facility on the hospital campus at 10 Plum Street.
Diagnostic imaging includes:
- Duplex ultrasonography
- CT scanning
- CT angiography with 3-dimensional reconstruction capabilities
- Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- Spiral CT scanning
- Digital subtraction angiography
- Venography
- Lymphangiography
- State of the art imaging for non-vascular diseases
Our radiology group has pioneered the development of advanced software for MRA and CT Angiography, and continues to be the leading radiology group in the region.
