A lower extremity venous ultrasound screens for deep vein thrombosis and venous insufficiency — conditions that are common, often silent, and potentially life-threatening if a clot travels to the lungs.
You don't need a doctor's referral. This scan is strongly recommended if any of the following apply to you:

Many people have never had this scan before. Here is exactly what happens — no surprises, no anxiety.
No radiation. No needles. No discomfort. An ultrasound uses sound waves — the same technology used in obstetric imaging. It is entirely safe and non-invasive.
No preparation required. You may be asked to lie in slightly different positions to get the best views of each vessel.
From the groin down to the calf, the sonographer compresses the vein at intervals to check for clots blocking normal flow.
Color Doppler shows the direction and speed of blood moving through each vein — identifying abnormalities in real time.
We check for venous insufficiency — leaking valves that cause blood to pool and flow backward, leading to swelling and discomfort.
Your report details any clots found, venous reflux findings, and recommended next steps.
These conditions often develop without symptoms for years. Early detection changes the outcome dramatically.
Blood clots in the deep veins of the leg. Can be life-threatening if they travel to the lungs as a pulmonary embolism.
Leaking vein valves that cause blood to pool in the legs — a common cause of chronic swelling and aching.
Clotting in the superficial veins — less dangerous than DVT but requiring monitoring and management.
Detailed mapping of incompetent vein segments that are candidates for treatment.
Chronic vein damage from previous clots — identified by scarring and abnormal flow patterns.
Precisely locating where venous reflux is occurring — essential for any treatment planning.
