Comprehensive imaging of your arteries, kidneys, and heart to detect early vascular changes caused by diabetes — helping you prevent serious complications before they occur and take control of your long-term health.

Diabetes Can Damage Your Vascular Health

Early detection through imaging lets you and your doctor intervene before serious complications develop.

Key Facts:

  • Nearly 37 million U.S. adults have diabetes, and up to one-third may develop serious vascular complications (CDC, 2024)

  • Diabetes increases risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), heart disease, and stroke (American Diabetes Association)

  • Diabetic kidney disease affects up to 40% of diabetics, often without early symptoms (NIH)

  • Early vascular screening can reduce long-term complications by up to 50%

Why Screening Helps:

  • Detect silent arterial blockages in the legs, brain, and kidneys

  • Identify early vascular changes with carotid IMT and Doppler imaging

Comprehensive Imaging to Detect Diabetes

Our diabetic complication screening uses advanced, non-invasive imaging to detect early vascular changes and prevent serious complications.

Included Tests:

  • Lower Extremity Arterial Doppler – Detects blockages in leg arteries, helping prevent PAD and mobility issues.

  • Renal Artery Doppler – Evaluates kidney blood flow, identifying early signs of diabetic nephropathy.

  • Echocardiogram – Assesses heart structure and function to catch early cardiomyopathy.

  • Carotid IMT Measurement – Measures arterial wall thickening as an early marker of atherosclerosis.

Are You at Risk for Diabetes-Related Vascular Disease?

Diabetes can silently affect your arteries, heart, and kidneys. Screening is especially important for individuals with one or more of these risk factors:

Risk Factors:

  • Diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2)

  • High blood pressure or high cholesterol

  • Age 50+

  • History of heart disease, stroke, or kidney issues

  • Smoking or tobacco use

  • Family history of diabetes complications

Why Screening Matters:

  • Detects silent blockages before symptoms arise

Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

  • A comprehensive imaging evaluation of your arteries, kidneys, and heart to detect early changes caused by diabetes.

  • Yes — all tests are non-invasive, radiation-free, and comfortable. Most screenings take 60 minutes.

  • Adults with diabetes, especially those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, age 50+, or a history of vascular complications.

  • Results are reviewed by board-certified cardiologists and delivered in a clear, actionable report, usually within 1–2 business days.

  • You receive personalized recommendations — lifestyle changes, medication adjustments, or referrals to specialists.

  • While no test can guarantee prevention, early detection and management can significantly reduce the risk of vascular and cardiac complications.
