A vein ultrasound is a simple, painless test that helps your specialist see how blood is flowing through the veins in your legs. During the exam, a small handheld device called a transducer is gently moved over the skin while a clear gel helps the sound waves travel through the tissue, creating real-time images of your veins.
The entire process is non-invasive, comfortable, and usually takes less than an hour.
