Brigham & Women's Hospital, Vascular Diagnostic Laboratory has attained recognition for its commitment to providing a high level of patient care and quality testing for the diagnosis of vascular disease. Our facility achieved accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL).
Our Vascular diagnostic Laboratory is one of a select number of vascular laboratories in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico to meet or exceed the ICAVL standards for noninvasive vascular testing. During the accreditation process, every aspect of the laboratory's daily operations and its impact on the quality of health care provided to patients is assessed and reviewed. While completing the application, laboratories are required to identify and correct potential problems, revising protocols and validating quality assurance programs.
The ICAVL is an non-profit organization established with the support of eleven medical societies including physicians, technologist and sonographers that represent medical specialties including cardiology, neurology, radiology, vascular medicine, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, internal medicine and biology.

We are available daily between 7 AM and 5 PM for a variety of noninvasive diagnostic services including: diagnostic work-up of carotid artery disease, venous disease including suspected deep vein thrombosis and peripheral arterial disease.
