JPMD provides interpretations for the following studies:

Resting Echocardiograms

An echocardiogram is a test in which ultrasound is used to examine the heart. It is a painless procedure that uses a clear liquid gel to obtain images. An echocardiogram provides (2-D) Echo and is capable of displaying a cross-sectional picture of the beating heart, including the chambers, valves and major blood vessels that exit from the left and right ventricle. The echocardiogram also uses Doppler, which assesses blood flow (direction and velocity). Also, echocardiography can assess the pumping ability of each chamber of the heart and also the movement of each visualized wall.

Common indications for ordering an echocardiogram:

Stress Echocardiograms

Stress echoes can be performed in the primary care office where there is a treadmill available. Imaging tests are generally obtained when a physician wishes to confirm or rule out the presence of coronary artery disease. The technologist will obtain a set of resting images before the patient is put on a treadmill, the patient will exercise until the maximum heart rate is achieved, and then will rapidly be imaged impost to assess wall motion.

Common indication for ordering the stress echocardiogram:

Abdominal Aorta Scans

The technologist systematically interrogates the entire length of the abdominal aorta as well as the common iliac arteries for the presence of an enlargement. Aortic and common iliac velocity measurements and waveforms are obtained using Doppler. The mesenteric and renal arteries are not evaluated during this study.

Common indications for ordering the Adominal Aorta scan:

Carotid Duplex

Carotid ultrasound shows whether a material called plaque has narrowed your carotid arteries. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. It builds up on the insides of your arteries as you age.
