Ultrasound Tutorial: DVT / Lower Limb Veins | Radiology Nation 

Demonstrating calf vein thrombosis has always been the biggest challenge for me, especially if the patient has leg edema or is somewhat obese. Seeing this video and finding out that other people search for the calf veins in sitting patient really give me hope of performing a better job. Good job.

Now show us on a real patient who arrives with extensive calf oedema 😂

I've been scheduled for a venous insufficiency ultrasound of my legs, I have blockages in 4 of the 6 arteries in both legs, also have issues with the veins bringing blood back up my legs... scares me on what might happen to me, esp when I have a almost 19 hour flight coming up sep of next year, that's just 1 way, and almost a 19 hour flight coming back home....anxiety is so bad, that if they need to roto rooter my legs, they are going to have to put me out as I can't keep my feet still long enough for them to do anything, I have a feeling I'm up poop creek without a paddle

I pray to GOD someone can help me to read this left leg ultrasound

The volume is too low

My foot got busted up so I got to go in for one of the scan.

Where are you???? We need you come back

Excuse me ..doctor examined this to my leg...but he told me that i have no any vericose vein..but when i run or jump i see a vein behind my knee..help plz what is that

What happened to our video

Another point I forgot to mention. I routinely find significant reflux in perforating veins and treat them by different means, resulting in the successful treatment of varicose veins and their symptoms. Many of them are in locations that are impossible to be evaluated unless the patient is standing during reflux mapping. They can be at any aspect of the leg starting from the gluteal, para-perineal, posterior thigh, and obvious other areas. Now, please tell me in RT, when the patient's body is against the table, how do check these areas in detail with ultrasound? Impossible!. Only when the patient is standing on a high stool and the sonographer is sitting lower (on a low stool) all areas can be evaluated. the patient rotates and any area that needs to be evaluated will be in front of the sonographer. I bit that in practices that do the ultrasound with the patient resting in any position on the exam table and even in RT, areas such as gluteal, para-perineal, and posterior thigh are not studied well! How many incompetent perforating veins in gluteal, para-perineal and infra-gluteal and posterior thigh have you treated in the last 6 months. I bit almost zero! Changing habits is hard, I know it. But knowingly doing a partial ultrasound study in place of detailed and complete ultrasound is another thing. Most surgeons just focus on GSV & SSV, while there are many more perforators that can be a source of the patient's problems. Due to routinely checking all areas, in 2001, for the first time, I introduced para-perineal varicosities in multiparous ladies as a source of symptomatic legs varicosities that take certain routes into legs' superficial veins. And I introduced foam sclerotherapy of these varicosities which has proved to be very safe and effective. But the key is that one must think of these possibilities and LOOK for them, then treat! We don't know what we are missing, until flex our minds and start looking at things slightly differently. Then new horizons will show up. I have so many photos and ultrasound images of such cases that will make it clear to you what I mean. May be I should start making RU-vid videos about these points. Pictures say a thousand words.
