Ultrasound: A New Standard for Varicose Vein Diagnosis

Varicose Veins: Diagnosis with Ultrasound Medical professionals are increasingly using ultrasound technology to diagnose varicose veins. This non-invasive procedure provides clear images of the affected veins, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The examination, as shown in a recent video from MAKO Clinic in Belarus, is performed while the patient stands to improve visualization. "The examination is performed only while standing," explains the doctor in the video, "because in this position, the swelling of the veins is more pronounced." The ultrasound images clearly show the affected areas, allowing for precise assessment of the condition. This method is a valuable tool for early detection and effective management of varicose veins, improving patient care and outcomes. The use of ultrasound is a significant advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of this common condition.
