How are veins of the foot assessed? ultrasound? venogram?

Duplex Ultrasound: A common complaint are unsightly bulging foot veins. These may be normal veins or they may be varicose. A venous reflux duplex would be performed to look for a root cause of the bulging veins. These veins can be treated with excellent results using the techniques of phlebectomy and/or endvenous laser ablation if reflux is a contributing factor.

Foot veins: Foot veins are normal and increase in size when standing and decrease in size when lying. An ultrasound can be done to assess the foot veins and rarely is a venogram done any more. Usually however, foot veins are evaluated by physical exam since they are under the skin and can be easily examined. see a vein specialist if you have a vein issue.
