Ultrasound of lower limbs

Ultrasound is used to detect the occurrence of venous insufficiency and venous thrombosis (clots).

WHAT 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.
