Lower Limb Deep Vein Echo Examination (Support Your Steps From The Inside Out)

· Those in Tokyo looking to check for blood clots in their legs.

· Those who want to understand swelling or pain in the lower limbs.
· Those who wish to find the cause of heaviness or heat in their legs.

Lower Limb Deep Vein Echo Examination is an ultrasound test used to check for blood clots and assess blood flow in the deep veins of the legs. It helps identify conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can cause swelling, pain, and serious complications if left untreated. By detecting blockages or stagnant blood flow early, this non-invasive test supports timely diagnosis and prevention of conditions such as pulmonary embolism.

Lower Limb Deep Vein Echo Examination uses ultrasound imaging to visualize the deep veins in the legs. A probe called a transducer is gently pressed against the skin, sending sound waves into the body. These waves create real-time images of blood flow and vein structure, helping to detect clots or blockages. The procedure is safe, non-invasive, and typically performed while the patient is lying down.
