Awaiting the procedure to begin.
Very quick monitor capture while the tech, Hau, was out.

Cross section of one portion of some arteries.
Same cross section as previous but with blood flow imaging turned on.
Same cross section as previous but also showing heart rhythm.
A second arterial cross section.
A lateral view of the previous arterial cross section.
Same lateral view as previous but with blood flow turned on.
Same lateral view as previous but also showing heart rhythm.
Took my mom to her follow-up ultrasound appointment at Thornton Hospital to check on the blood clot she was diagnosed with a few months ago. She came away with the assurance that her jugular is clot-free.
