Consultation — duplex ultrasound

It is not possible to identify the sites of reflux simply by looking at the leg. An ultrasound scan is needed to see the state of the deep veins, the superficial veins under the skin as well as the vessels feeding the varicose veins.

The ultrasound is painless and does not involve needles. Your leg is covered with a gel that allows sound waves into the tissues to build up a picture of the veins deep within your leg as well as veins under the skin that would normally be difficult to see. The examination is very similar to the scan performed on pregnant mothers to look at the developing baby.

The duplex ultrasound examination is provided as part of a consultation.
