Our compassionate team ensures your comfort and privacy throughout the procedure while providing high-quality imaging that leads to better diagnosis and care.

Thyroid Ultrasound

A thyroid ultrasound is used to evaluate the size, shape, and structure of the thyroid gland. At Vie Medical Center, we use this imaging test to detect nodules, cysts, or signs of thyroid disease.

Patients experiencing symptoms like neck swelling, difficulty swallowing, or changes in thyroid function may benefit from this quick and painless exam.

With expert interpretation and advanced imaging technology, we help patients get to the root of thyroid issues and develop an effective treatment plan.

Testicular Ultrasound

A testicular ultrasound is a non-invasive scan used to assess the testicles and surrounding tissues. At Vie Medical Center, we perform this study when patients experience testicular pain, swelling, or lumps.

This exam can identify issues like testicular torsion, tumors, cysts, or infections. It’s a crucial diagnostic tool for male reproductive health.

Performed with sensitivity and care, our testicular ultrasound offers peace of mind with fast, accurate results.

Scrotum Ultrasound

A scrotal ultrasound evaluates the entire scrotal sac, including the testicles and epididymis. At Vie Medical Center, this study is often performed when patients report discomfort, swelling, or palpable masses in the scrotum.

The ultrasound helps detect conditions like hydroceles, varicoceles, and epididymitis. It’s also valuable in identifying the cause of infertility or trauma-related injuries.

We ensure a private, respectful environment and provide timely, detailed results to support your next steps in care.

Soft Tissue Ultrasound

Soft tissue ultrasounds are versatile imaging tools used to examine lumps, infections, or injuries in the muscles, tendons, or other tissues. At Vie Medical Center, we use this study to evaluate unexplained swelling, pain, or soft tissue masses.

These ultrasounds can help diagnose abscesses, hematomas, lipomas, and other soft tissue abnormalities with precision.

Safe, quick, and comfortable, our soft tissue ultrasound provides valuable diagnostic insights that help guide appropriate treatment plans.

Abdominal Aorta Ultrasound

An abdominal aorta ultrasound is used to assess the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the lower body. At Vie Medical Center, we recommend this exam to screen for aneurysms or signs of aortic disease, especially in patients with risk factors such as smoking or a family history of aneurysm.

This non-invasive test can detect bulging or weak spots in the aorta before they become life-threatening.

Our experienced sonographers and medical team provide precise imaging and expert evaluation to ensure your cardiovascular health is closely monitored.

Carotid Doppler Ultrasound

Carotid Doppler ultrasounds assess blood flow through the carotid arteries in the neck, which supply the brain with oxygen-rich blood. At Vie Medical Center, we use this test to detect blockages or narrowing that may increase the risk of stroke.

This painless test is especially important for patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of cardiovascular disease.

With early detection, we can help reduce your risk of stroke and recommend treatments or lifestyle changes to protect your brain health.

Echocardiograms

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart that provides real-time images of its chambers, valves, and function. At Vie Medical Center, this essential test helps us diagnose heart conditions such as valve disorders, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure.

It is often used when patients experience symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or irregular heartbeats. The echo can show how well your heart is pumping and if any areas are weakened or damaged.

With our advanced equipment and experienced team, we deliver comprehensive cardiac evaluations in a caring, patient-focused environment.
