A venous study is a noninvasive test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to search for blood clots and assess the blood flow in your arteries and veins.
What happens in a vein study?
The Doppler probe will be pressed against your skin and moved around over the area of the artery or vein being studied. When blood flow is detected, you will hear a “whoosh, whoosh” sound. The probe will be moved around to compare blood flow in different areas of the artery or vein.
How long does a vein mapping procedure take?
A vein mapping ultrasound typically takes 30-90 minutes to complete. The ultrasound technician will need access to your legs from the groin to the ankle or your arms from the neck to the wrist.
