Corporate Health / Community Preventive Health Screenings
Preventive Health Screenings for those who may be at risk due to family history or lifestyle choices. Preventive Health Screenings assist in identifying potentially life threatening conditions before they become an issue.
Corporate Health Various screening programs and or packages are available; let Mobile Sonix™ work with your representatives to develop a specific screening program to meet your needs.
VASCULAR HEALTH SCREENING is a combination of three tests. They are painless and all three can be completed in less than an hour. You do not need a referral from your physician for these tests, but they are not covered under insurance.
- CAROTID ARTERIES (that feed the brain). Check for plaque build up in the major arteries that feed the brain. Blockage in these important arteries can lead to stroke.
- ABDOMINAL AORTA (for aneurysm). Check for bulging (aneurysm) in the main artery that runs from the heart through the trunk of the body.
- PERIPHERAL ARTERIES (of the legs). Check for plaque build up in the leg arteries. Significant plaque in the legs can cause pain and weakness. An ankle brachial screening, using blood pressure cuffs on the arms and ankles, to detect peripheral arterial disease.
Who needs a Vascular Screening? Asymptomatic patients, who are concerned about early detection of vascular disease in order to decrease the risk of stroke, evaluate for poor circulation associated with limb loss, and abdominal aneurysm associated with rupture and death.
