With any pathology of the vessels of the lower extremities, with edema of unclear etiology, the first thing that will help to make an accurate diagnosis is ultrasound of the vessels and veins of the lower extremities.
We reveal vascular pathologies using duplex sonography
The study, which is carried out in the clinic, is qualitatively different from the traditional ultrasound, which is familiar to many patients. Expanded vascular duplex sonography helps our phlebologists in the accurate diagnosis of a wide variety of vein pathologies .
Technique of the procedure for ultrasound of the vessels and veins of the lower extremities
Duplex sonography does not require any preparation of the patient. It is carried out by a doctor of ultrasound diagnostics in a specially equipped room. The whole procedure will take about 20 minutes. To obtain accurate results, the patient is examined in a standing position or in an inclined position with their feet down.
What the Doctor Sees
The doctor clearly sees all the results on the monitor screen. Moreover, duplex sonography gives an image in a two-color scale, which allows you to trace the patency of the vessels along the entire length.
With the help of duplex ultrasound, the doctor can:
- Measure the counter flow of blood moving through your veins.
- Determine the condition of the venous valves.
- See changes and varicose damage to the vascular walls.
- Diagnose thrombosis and other pathologies of veins.
- Assess for venous reflux (backflow of blood).
- Determine the scope of the operation, mark the access points for the surgeon.
All results are computerized and the patient receives a conclusion in a modern form.
