• Ideal for continuous monitoring of chronic venous conditions, ensuring proper treatment management.

When is a foot Doppler ultrasound needed?

If you're experiencing symptoms such as swelling, pain or heaviness in your legs, a venous Doppler ultrasound can help identify the cause of these problems.

This non-invasive procedure provides clear images of blood flow in the veins of the legs and other affected areas, allowing doctors to detect the presence of blood clots, venous insufficiency and other abnormalities.

Conditions requiring venous Doppler ultrasound:

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Symptoms: swelling, pain and redness in the lower limbs.

Diagnosis: Venous Doppler ultrasound helps detect blood clots in deep veins.

Venous insufficiency

Symptoms: varicose veins, feeling heavy, tired and aching legs.

Diagnosis: Ultrasound allows assessment of venous valves and blood flow.

Varicose veins

Symptoms: dilated and prominent veins on the surface of the skin, often painful.

Diagnosis: Venous Doppler ultrasound is used to assess the functioning of superficial and deep veins.
