Venous Doppler Evaluation
What is it?
A Venous Doppler Examination uses ultrasound to create a two-dimensional picture of your veins. This test is helpful in diagnosing a blood clot or a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis.)
What kind of symptoms might I experience if I had a deep vein thrombosis?
There are many signs and symptoms that you may experience, such as:
- Limb swelling
- Pain/Tenderness
- Acute shortness of breath (occasionally a pulmonary embolus or blood clot in the lung is caused by a blood clot in the leg which has broken off and traveled to the lung)
