What is a venous insufficiency duplex ultrasound scan?<\/summary>\r\n <p>It is a non-invasive ultrasound scan that assesses blood flow and valve function in the leg veins, helping to identify reflux and varicose vein pathways.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>2. Is this the same as a DVT scan?<\/summary>\r\n <p>No. This scan is for chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins. If you are concerned about DVT, please book a dedicated DVT ultrasound scan or seek urgent medical advice.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>3. How much does the scan cost?<\/summary>\r\n <p>The price is \u00a3190 for one leg and \u00a3350 for both legs.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>4. Should I book one leg or both legs?<\/summary>\r\n <p>Book one leg if your symptoms are only on one side. Book both legs if symptoms, swelling or varicose veins affect both legs, or if your clinician has requested bilateral mapping.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>5. Can this scan help with varicose vein treatment planning?<\/summary>\r\n <p>Yes. The scan includes vein mapping and reflux assessment, which can help vascular specialists plan treatments such as laser, foam sclerotherapy or surgery.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>6. Do I need a GP referral?<\/summary>\r\n <p>A GP referral is not always required for private ultrasound appointments, but your report should be reviewed by an appropriate clinician if further treatment is needed.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>7. Is the scan painful?<\/summary>\r\n <p>No. The scan is non-invasive and painless. Ultrasound gel is applied to the skin and the probe is moved gently along the leg.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>8. Will I need to stand during the scan?<\/summary>\r\n <p>You may be asked to stand for part of the scan because reflux is often better assessed when the veins are under normal standing pressure.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>9. How long does the scan take?<\/summary>\r\n <p>The scan usually takes approximately 30\u201345 minutes, depending on whether one leg or both legs are being assessed.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>10. What should I wear?<\/summary>\r\n <p>Please wear loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to your legs. Shorts are helpful if available.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>11. Will I receive a report?<\/summary>\r\n <p>Yes. You will receive a detailed report outlining the findings. With your consent, this can be shared with your GP, vascular consultant or specialist.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details>\r\n <summary>12. Can the scan diagnose the cause of leg swelling?<\/summary>\r\n <p>It can help assess whether venous reflux or venous insufficiency may be contributing to swelling. Other causes may still need review by your GP or specialist.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"final-cta\">\r\n <div class=\"container\">\r\n <h2>Book a specialist venous insufficiency and varicose vein ultrasound scan<\/h2>\r\n <p>\r\n Private venous duplex ultrasound at UKSONO Healthcare for patients with varicose veins,\r\n leg heaviness, swelling, skin changes or treatment-planning needs.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/online-booking.semble.io\/?token=0ccd2f813783d45287cbd5f610536826a22ca54a\">Book Your Scan<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<\/main>\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\r\n```\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>“`html Venous Insufficiency & Varicose Vein Duplex Ultrasound Scan | UKSONO Healthcare Specialist Vascular Ultrasound Assessment Venous Insufficiency & Varicose Vein Duplex Ultrasound Scan A detailed lower limb venous Doppler ultrasound to assess varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, venous reflux, perforator incompetence and vein anatomy for treatment planning.
