Question 1

may i keep my stockings on during leg ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

Most likely not: The ultrasound probe needs to be in connection to your skin, and a gel is placed on the skin to improve the conduction through the skin- if your stockings cover the area that they need to ultrasound you will have to take them off.
