Non-Invasive Vein Evaluation
A thorough, pain-free diagnostic evaluation that identifies the underlying cause of varicose veins, in partnership with Physicians Vein Clinics.
Why Choose Lazaderm
What Is a Non-Invasive Vein Evaluation?
In the past, surgeons could only remove the veins they could see on the surface of the skin, since the technology to fully evaluate the underlying cause of varicose veins didn’t exist. That led to a significant failure rate within the first two years after surgery. Today, in partnership with Physicians Vein Clinics, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to find the actual source of the problem before recommending a treatment path.
Our Diagnostic Techniques
CT-Venography: A specialized scanning process combining a series of X-ray images from multiple angles to produce a detailed cross-sectional view. Used to locate blood clots, obstructions, or venous reflux that may be causing continued leg pain.
Duplex Ultrasound: A pain-free technique that visualizes veins and assesses venous flow in real time, including the direction blood is flowing. Veins where blood isn’t flowing back toward the heart are considered incompetent.
Magnetic Resonance Venography (MR-V): Uses contrast dyes and advanced imaging to produce high-resolution, three-dimensional images of veins, capturing blood flow rate and direction, particularly useful for evaluating the pelvis and abdomen.
Photoplethysmography: Measures lower extremity venous refill time, with and without inflatable cuffs, to distinguish the individual contribution of superficial versus deep vein insufficiency.
Who Should Get a Non-Invasive Vein Evaluation?
Anyone experiencing visible varicose veins, leg pain, or swelling that hasn’t been fully explained by a prior evaluation is a good candidate for this deeper diagnostic workup before considering treatment.
