Deep Vein Thrombosis Ultrasound Scan (DVT)
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that develops within a deep vein of the body, usually in the leg and ultrasound scans are commonly used to diagnose or exclude the existence of DVT. DVT usually occurs in a deep leg vein, a larger vein that runs through the muscles of the calf and the thigh.
What does the Deep Vein Thrombosis Ultrasound Scan (DVT) involve?
What this scan can detect

Identifies changes in size, shape or tissue density that may indicate a problem.
Vascular conditions
Assesses blood flow, clot formation, and arterial or venous abnormalities.
Cysts & masses
Differentiates between fluid-filled cysts and solid masses requiring further investigation.
