so uses ultrasound to. visualize the
abdominal aorta, and the peripheral
vascular disease test (caused by a
“+ buildup of plaque in the arteries of
the legs) which uses a hand held
Doppler. By detecting the amount
of plaque build-up and alerting
one's own physician (if necessary),
strokes can be prevented.
