Venous Ultrasound

A venous ultrasound is a safe, painless test that evaluates the veins, most often in the legs. It helps your provider see how blood is flowing back to the heart and whether the veins and valves are working properly.

This test may be used to:

  • Check for blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or DVT)
  • Evaluate varicose veins
  • Identify venous reflux (blood flowing the wrong direction)
  • Investigate leg swelling, pain, heaviness, or skin changes
  • Help plan treatment for venous disease

 

  • You lie comfortably on an exam table
  • A small ultrasound probe is moved over the skin with warm gel
  • Gentle pressure may be applied to assess vein function
  • The test usually takes 30–45 minutes

No. You may feel mild pressure, but the test is non-invasive and painless.

An arterial ultrasound evaluates the arteries, which carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body. It helps detect narrowed or blocked arteries that may reduce blood flow.
