A member asked:
Should ultrasound below knee be performed lying down or standing? lying down would seem odd because the technician can miss one side, esp. the ssv.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impt veins assessed: Beyond the awkwardness of a technician trying to assess a standing patient, the clinically meaningful blood flow through the veins are adequately assessed by a technician practising excellent technique when the patient is lying down.
