Ultrasound is an imaging technology that enables the Florida Lakes Vein Center team to diagnose problems in your veins accurately.
The ultrasound procedure is entirely safe, as it doesn’t involve exposure to radiation, which technologies like X-rays and CT scans use. Ultrasounds are also noninvasive, so there are no injections or incisions to worry about.
Ultrasound technology uses sound waves that bounce off the tissues in your body to capture detailed, moving images. Your provider passes a hand-held device called a transducer over your skin that gathers information from sound waves to produce real-time illustrations on a monitor. Ultrasounds are painless—you can’t feel sound waves traveling through your tissues.
There are a great many specialized ultrasounds that perform specific functions, like echocardiogram for the heart. At Florida Lakes Vein Center, the team uses two primary types of ultrasound to examine your veins:
You need an ultrasound to accurately diagnose potential vein disease, including chronic venous insufficiency and deep vein thrombosis.
