Duplex scanning of the veins of the lower extremities is a study aimed at assessing the vascular system of the legs, detecting vascular diseases and finding the optimal treatment by a doctor in the future. The vascular system is the main supplier of oxygen to all organs and systems, so the work and health of the body as a whole depends on its functionality. Therefore, duplex scanning of the venous system of the legs is very popular and in demand now. This technique allows you to detect various pathologies at early stages. At the same time, it is absolutely safe and applicable to all categories of patients, including pregnant women.

Duplex scanning of arteries and veins of the lower extremities

This diagnostic is a combination of ultrasound and Doppler, which makes it possible to examine the condition of the vessels from the inside. During the process, a two-dimensional image is recreated, which shows the condition of the vessels. This allows us to detect:

  • pathologies;
  • varicose veins;
  • vascular injuries;
  • venous insufficiency;
  • thrombosis;
  • fistulas.

When is it recommended to do a duplex scan of the veins of the lower extremities?

The reasons for diagnosis are:

  • a feeling of heaviness in the legs;
  • numbness and swelling in the calf area;
  • pain;
  • detection of a vascular network, bulging veins;
  • convulsions;
  • change in skin color cover.

Contraindications and limitations

The absolute safety of the procedure excludes the presence of contraindications, but there are aggravated conditions of the human body, in the presence of which the study is recommended to be postponed. This includes:

  • violation of skin integrity;
  • bronchial asthma in the acute phase;
  • infection of the body;
  • rashes.

There is no special preparation for this procedure.

How are the results of duplex scanning of the veins of the lower extremities deciphered?

The doctor takes into account the following indicators:

  • bilateral assessment of vessels;
  • what is the response of the vascular system to the respiratory tests;
  • reaction of vessels to compression using a sensor;
  • characteristics of the internal state of the veins;
  • thrombi;
  • valve functionality;
  • pathological refluxes;
  • localization of communicating veins.
