• A highly trained sonographer will arrive at your office 15 minutes before the scheduled time. Assign them to an appropriate exam room where the lights can be dimmed (in order to better see the ultrasound screen).

Unsurpassed Quality

AAI’s technicians are trained to the highest standards using prescribed training methodologies. Each element of potential variability is measured through strict protocols and tested regularly. This calibration and standardization is completed at regular intervals so you don’t need to worry about the consistency or reproducibility of your patient’s test results. Our highly trained specialists can be scheduled at your convenience, at your office. You receive the results for each patient within days of the scan.

Covered Expense:

Many major insurance carriers and Medicare are currently reimbursing some or all of the cost for this critical test in at-risk patient populations. The test is much more specific and predictive of heart attack, stroke, and myocardial infarction than are many more expensive tests. The exam is recommended by the American Heart Association for adults over 45, and the software has received FDA clearance .
