|
|
|
Medical application of ultrasound has rapidly evolved and is becoming an essential tool in medical imaging. Ultrasound provides real time images and enables observation of anatomical changes as well as guidance in minimal invasive procedures. Duplex ultrasound is a well-established non-invasive tool used for varicose veins work-up. It has also been utilized for endovenous thermal ablation and follow-up after the procedure. The purpose of this article is to provide insightful information on performance of Duplex ultrasound during diagnosis and follow-up of varicose vein. The usefulness of Duplex ultrasound for endovenous thermal ablation is also discussed.
