A member asked:
Is the patient supposed to lie flat or tilted when undergoing a venogram of the leg?

Some variation: The veins fill with tilted head up. So if dye- venogram is to show then tilt is used. To show emptying flat or reverse tilt may be included. With ultrasound flat or head up,is common.

Usually tilting: Usually a tilting table is used for a venogram of the leg- but not always. Different hospitals and radiologist have different procedures for different circumstances.
