Services
The Cardiovascular Imaging Core Research Laboratory is able to arm investigators with an array of imaging and measurement tools.
Our cardiac tools include:
2-D, M-mode and color flow Doppler echocardiography
Tissue velocity imaging, strain rate analysis
Stress echo
Wall stress analysis
Micro-ultrasonography and Doppler echocardiography for small animals
Our vascular services include:
Vascular Imaging
- Carotid Intima Media Thickness & Carotid Stiffness
- Brachial Arterial Reactivity or Flow Mediated Dilatation
Vascular Non-Imaging
Arterial stiffness Measures
- Augmentation index
- Brachial artery distensibility
- Carotid stiffness
- Pulse wave velocity & Pulse wave analysis
Endothelial function
- Laser flow Doppler
- Reactive hyperemia index
- Venous plethysmography
We also offer additional services for investigators. The lab offers a vascular workshop, “Vascular Structure and Function Assessment.” We also present a yearly seminar that provides educational resources in state-of-the-art cardiac procedures, technique and science. Also, our state-of-the-art, comprehensive offline measuring software databases can manage your data design, and our business department serves as a resource for grant and industry funded projects.
