Vein Ultrasound

In-office vein ultrasounds are often recommended if you are experiencing symptoms of venous issues such as swelling in the legs, aching or cramping pain, heaviness, throbbing, or discoloration in the skin around your veins. These symptoms may indicate conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or blood clots. Left untreated, these issues can lead to more severe complications, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or venous ulcers. Vein ultrasounds provide crucial imaging that can detect abnormalities in the veins, ensuring early diagnosis and effective management of these conditions.

PROCEDURE SPECIFICATIONS

An in-office vein ultrasound is a quick, non-invasive procedure performed using high-frequency sound waves to visualize the structure and function of your veins in real time. During the ultrasound, a gel is applied to the skin, and a small handheld device known as a transducer is moved across the targeted area. The test can be performed while you are lying down, sitting, or standing, depending on the area being evaluated. This allows the physician to better assess blood flow and identify any vein-related abnormalities. There is no downtime or discomfort associated with the procedure, and results are often available immediately, allowing your doctor to develop a customized treatment plan if necessary.
