Lower Extremity Venous- Bilateral, CPT 93970

Description

Booking: Monday-Friday Only A lower extremity venous ultrasound is used to evaluate the blood flow through the major veins in your legs. The most common reason for this ultrasound is to rule out blood clots (DVT). Doppler ultrasound is used to measure your blood flow and blood pressure by bouncing sound waves off circulating blood cells. If you have a warm, red, or swollen area in your leg, it is often recommended to have a lower extremity venous ultrasound. Prep for this Exam: You don’t have to do anything special to prepare your body for a lower extremity venous ultrasound, but it is important to dress appropriately. We recommend wearing clothing that is easy to remove and expose your leg(s).
