Preparing for Your Vein Ultrasound
A vein ultrasound (also called a venous duplex scan) is a painless, non-invasive test that uses sound waves to look at the veins in your legs and check how well blood is flowing. It helps our providers find the cause of symptoms like leg pain, swelling, heaviness, cramping, or visible varicose veins.
