Schedule appointmentWHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THE EXAMINATION?
The examination is painless, safe and without side effects.
MORE ABOUT EXAMINATION
You take off your shoes, trousers or skirt and socks before the examination.
The examination is performed standing on stairs, so it is not performed on patients who are unable to stand due to their medical condition. You squeeze your abdomen during the examination as you do when you go to the toilet.
The examination can be used to detect possible venous blockages (presence of clots – venous thrombosis), the presence of venous insufficiency, the success of thrombosis treatment and the presence of possible sequelae of a previous venous thrombosis.
DURATION OF EXAMINATION
The ultrasound examination takes 5–20 minutes, depending on the extent of the disease.
PREPARATION FOR THE EXAMINATION
No special preparation is needed for the examination; we recommend wearing shorts (briefs) only for feeling more comfortable.
Specialist doctors
A team of leading renowned experts from different areas of medicine undergo constant training and develop new treatment programmes.
