This exam is an ultrasound of the leg or arm veins. The exam is usually done due to a complaint of swelling or soreness of one or both limbs. This exam will assess the movement of the blood through your veins to your feet or hands. It allows us to see blood clots of the vein, which may cause the symptoms described.
This exam is painless and requires no preparation.
TIME ALLOTED: Plan on one hour.
PROCEDURE: You will be asked to disrobe, including undergarments, and be given a gown to wear. Ultrasonic gel is applied to the appropriate areas and ultrasound pictures are obtained.
