Arterial ulcers and venous ulcers are chronic wounds with different causes and appearances. Arterial ulcers occur due to arterial disease, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the affected area. Venous ulcers develop as a consequence of chronic venous insufficiency.
Thrombophlebitis refers to the inflammation of a vein caused by a blood clot (thrombus). This type of inflammation frequently occurs in the legs but can occur in other body areas.
The culprit is atherosclerosis, clogging of the arteries with cholesterol and other debris. This narrows the opening through which blood flows, restricting the supply of oxygen. In turn, demand for oxygen exceeds supply and pain is the result.
Y-90 is a relatively new, safe, and highly successful treatment for cancer in the liver that targets tumors with a high dose of radiation without affecting other, healthy parts of the body. AMIR Vein & Vascular Radiologists can help you determine if Y-90 treatment can help you. Please see the informative link below.

A technique that delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound to targeted tissue under MRI guidance effectively treats intermediate-risk prostate cancer with minimal side effects, according to a study published in Radiology.
The use of cardiovascular computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is one of the areas that has seen a sudden increase in use and value since the start of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The future is now for 3D imaging technologies such as cinematic rendering, 3D printing, simulation training, virtual reality, and augmented reality, according to a June 26 presentation at the virtual annual meeting of the Society for Imaging
Informatics in Medicine (SIIM).
Prostate MRI is an emerging technology used to identify and guide treatment for prostate cancer and has recently gained wide acceptance at many institutions. However, there has been concern that different institutions perform imaging of different
quality.
As COVID-19 spreads in the United States, there is growing interest in the role and appropriateness of chest X-ray and CT for the screening, diagnosis, and management of patients with suspected or known COVID-19 infection.
