Mary Lou

Vascular Ultrasonographer

My name is Mary Lou and I’m the registered vascular ultrasonographer in Dr. Madson’s office. After graduating from x-ray school many years ago in Akron, Ohio, I moved to New Jersey when I decided to attend vascular ultrasound courses at Thomas Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, Pa. I ultrasound only blood vessels, arteries and veins. That’s my specialty. They can be in your arms, legs, belly and neck. None of these tests hurt you. There are no injections, no needles, etc. I simply apply a wet gel on the area of your body that I want to see the blood vessels in and rub a small probe over your skin there. I look at the vessel walls, check the blood flow speed in arteries, look for cholesterol build up in your arteries (kind of like rust building up in a pipe) and check for blood clots in your veins.

If you have leg or arm pain and swelling you may have blood clots in your veins, especially after an injury or after you have had a total knee or hip replacement with an operation. If you have mini-strokes, an artery in your neck (the internal or common carotid) may be closing up with plaque and not “feeding” blood flow properly to your brain. Perhaps your legs cramp when you walk a certain distance. I can check the blood flow going down your legs into your feet to see if perhaps your arteries are “clogging up” with plaque. Don’t ever be afraid of having vascular ultrasound done - it’s a “piece of cake”!
