Ankle-Brachial Index Test in Augusta, KS

An ankle brachial index (ABI) test is a simple and non-invasive diagnostic procedure to identify peripheral artery disease (PAD).

During the test, your blood pressure will be measured in both arms and ankles while a physician listens to your blood flow via ultrasound. This information is used to calculate your ABI.
