DVT sonogram: Puma: you probably had this test before if you had DVT in the past, but with symptoms you describe it is time to check for new clot or to ensure there is still not some lingering old clot there. This is the exam where they put the gel on your leg and follow the veins, looking at the flow and compressibility. The vein will not compress or show normal flow if there is clot.
